Slightly Little PC Upgrade o_O Opinions?

[Jarod]

Hey guys,

Well, my days with my old PC are about to end here goes my old PC specs:

Intel Pentium 3 933Mhz 256k Cache ( w00t! )
192MB RDRAM ( Rambus ) Kingston & Samsung
ATi Radeon 9600XT 128MB ( I'm gonna miss this one... pretty high quality card... good old ATi days... )

Now, new PC specs...

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.4Ghz, 4MB Cache
Asus P5B
2GB DDR2 800MHz HyperX Kingston 1.95v CAS Latency: 5
XFX 8800GTX 768MB ( stock speeds )
700W Thermaltake Power Supply

This is what I'm planning to run on that system:

- Doom 3 & RoE
- F.E.A.R.
- CS: Source
- Flight Simulator 2004 ( FSX maybe, too bad my addons won't work in it... and yeah, I know that FSX can bring any system to its knees )
- Test Drive Unlimited
- UT2004 & the new UT2007 when released.

What do you guys think?

NOTE: I'm NOT planning ANY Overclocking!!!!!!!!!!11111oneoneone!!111!!eleven!!shift+1!!oneone!!11onemilionelevenandone!!!1 11!!!one !

Thanks in advance!
Jarod.

Hi,

you should buy cas 4 ram, look at gskill :

G.SKILL F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL4-4-3-5 240PIN Dual Channel Memory Kit (F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK)

I have this kit, and I am very happy with it.

For the 8800gtx, all brand are goods, but evga have lifetime warranty, you can overclock the card without losing it.

I would just replace the power supply with a real good one. PC P&C or SeaSonic (Corsair's branded choice)
