Enter for a chance to win a Ballistic Gaming Computer.
Hello, I am looking into getting a new system. My current rig is: mobo: ABIT NF7-S CPU: Athlon XP3200 Graphics: ATI radeon 9800 pro 1GB RAM I have been out of the pc scene for a couple years so I don't know what's hot and what's not. I want to update my system mainly for games. I am looking at something like this: mobo: Biostar K8M800MAM2 CPU: Athlon 64 x2 5200+ Graphics: ATI radeon x1650 pro 1GB DDR2 800MHz Games I'd like to run are Ghost Recon and MS Flight Sim X. Also my budget for the mobo/cpu/RAM combo is $400. What do you guys think of that setup and if there's anything to recommend? Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
Decent system, go ahead and build away.
Heres a list of possible Items for your new build http://tinyurl.com/2hjlqh your build would be around $350? This one would be $700 but last you way longer and play alot more games.

I think the second option (midrange) looks more like what i need. You got that from newegg right?
Yes =)
great. I'll probably get that. One more thing. Win XP Pro shouldn't be any problem with that setup correct?
