Hello,
I'm in need of a new gaming rig. I've been looking at the following components:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz Socket AM2
ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX
XFX PVT80GGHE4 GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
GIGABYTE ODIN GE-S800A-D1 ATX12V / EPS12V 800W Power Supply
Does anyone have any advice or opinion? I want something that can play games like Oblivion and NwN2 fairly well.
I'm also confused on the type of case and amount of fans I need. Should I get a mid-tower only, or a larger case because of the larger video card and room enough to swap parts. Also, how many fans do I really need?
I'm looking to spend around 1300 max, and the above components with case, hd, and dvdrom gets me to about 1200, so I can spend a little more if need be.
Thanks for any help!
