... This System Is Good But It`s Not For HardCore Gaming ...

What's your budget?

for starters, i would suggest a different memory, cosair or ocz. Also, if you have the budget, get 2 gigs (2 sticksk 1 gig each), instead of 2 512's. A lot of game out there already use a gig of ram (just the game process itself).

Also, what PS are you going to get?

Well i can get bigger RAM, but still stay with the Mushkin
(MUSHKIN DDR2 2GB EM2-5300 667Mhz DUAL PACK 2x1GB - 188$)
The others r a bit too much for my pocket.

The budget is around 1400$, but where i live things cost more from what u r used to.

The PS comes with the chassis its 430W thermaltake

Well, if you go ahead and get 2G of ram it's ok and will play games for you.

 

[bluntside]

1 Gb high quality ram will do you good, unless yoiu plan on playing bf2. Then you mest at LEAST have 2g's of ram. Upgrade the Ram and Video card and you should be set!!
:twisted:

 

[Pandora]

The RAM won't be a problem to upgrade, the video card would be.
From what i read this one seemed like the one i can afford and still enjoy a game or two.

 

[sandmannight]

hmm If you would be interested in OC'ing you could get a opty 144 for 170 US. Not sure home much it cost where you are. Wait you are a Intel Man. Dont know much about that intel you have except it is nicely priced and good OC'er

Sad to see you chose the Intel space heater route.
You DO NOT need 2 gb ram to play BF2, espceially with that video card you have. I play BF2 on medium with a 2.4 P4, 1gb value ram, and a 128 mb 6800 vanilla. It plays flawless.
Although If I was building a system like that, I would go with 2 gb of ram.
