Hey im about to order my new computer like in the next 30 minutes and I just wanted to show you guys to make sure everything is in order. I am open for any suggestions but it can't go over about $900. Thanks for all the help.

This is kinda a family PC so it will be used for everything. Mainly games though. So I just checking to see if the video card would run well with everything to be able to run every game out.

Looks good. I would suggest 2gb of RAM, and a X1900XT 256mb for $240 though.

Ok cool well I just got 1 for now but I will probably upgrade in the near future. Also, I had to go with the other video card. Even though its only $40 more I couldn't afford it. :cry: Thanks for the input though.

Jesus murphy! Do whatever you have to to get that X1900 XT!

HUGE difference over the X1900 GT... HUGE!

HUGE!

Make it happen! Skimp on another component if you have to! But if this is a gaming PC, you will be kicking yourself in the ass for getting the GT instead of the XT!

Trust me...

Dammit I was afraid of that. Ok lemme see if I can change my order.

Good luck dude.

The X1900 GT is a good card for $200 for sure...

...but for a mere $40 more, the X1900 XT 256mb performs more like the $350 X1900 XTX than it does like a $200 card. They're really amazing for the price.

Even the upcoming 7950 GT's can't touch 'em.
