NEC 16X DVD±R DVD Burner Black IDE/ATAPI Model ND-3550A $28.99

POWERCOLOR Radeon X800GTO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card $89.99

Total $603.93

I just found this on Newegg:

Is this a good deal? Ill be using this comp for COD2, Bf2, Planetside, CS:S, and maybe some other games. The price is a definite plus for me. Ive been recommended a 7600GS instead of the x800GTO. What the comparisons between the 7600gs, the x800gto and the x700? Advice is needed. Thanks.

NO. That memory is DDR2 memory, which does not fit into a DDR slot. DDR2 modules have 240 pins; DDR modules have 184 pins.

Also, I'd get this Corsair XMS 1GB kit over the Value Select. It's $101 after a $20 mail-in rebate.

EDIT: Change the video card to THIS.

well about the ram i am not sure. because on my board i use ddr 400
but as for the x800gto i belive is better than the 7600gs. its 256bit and the 7600gs is on 128bit.

Ok, ill switch to the XMS ram, and the x850xt i guess. Not too much money spent, but good. Still open to suggestions.

Switch the CPU to this. It is only $15 dollars more, and the performance increase for such little money is a must.

I definetely agree with switching to the X850XT. Especially for your games like BF2.

Ya i did see that, maybe the x850xt is the better deal. Well this looks great, if theres any other things i can swap for not so much more(Up to 683, little past my limit) please say so. Thanks.

You can swap that Windows licence for something a little less "genuine" and save $90.

Also, I'd spend an extra $8 to get an Athlon 64 3700+. I can't beleive how much this CPU has dropped in price; I bought it in April for $220

melarcky: I didn't know that there was such thing as an A64 3200+ San Diego; are you sure it isn't something like a Venice?
