Hey

So i finally decided to get myself a new pc after having a HP for years. I want something i can game on where it looks good.

Here's what i am planning on gettin:

Gigabyte P45-DS3L
Core 2 Duo E8500 6MB 2x3,16GHz FSB1333MHz
Corsair XMS2 DHX 2 x 2GB
Samsung 750GB harddisk S-ATAII 3Gb/s Fluid (32MB cache)
BenQ G2400W 24"
Radeon HD4870X2 2GB DDR5 PCI-E or GeForce GTX 280

Is this a okay setup for gaming, mobo and ram and all that?? I am kinda torn between the 4870X2 and GTX280 cuz i dont wanna end up not being able to play the latest games cuz of the dual gpu!

What do you guys think? Please reply asap, cuz i am gettin it as soon as possible!! Thanks

well if u got no problems with ur money i recomend the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 almost for the same price and also why lack on ur motherboard, i recomend ASUS P5Q-E, 4870x2 and gtx280 are the best card on the market rite now with aprice not everybody wants to pay because within a couple of months its gonna come down and u will regret ur buy, but if u have the money gtx 280 is a great buy but i will rather something lest bank breaking as a 4850 or 9800gtx+ and if new games comes out ill just get another one and cross or sli.
