I'm looking for expert help, I need to choose the hardware for a 900 dollar computer, but I don't know what's best.
I need a 1GB graphics card, with DDR3 memory, PCI-E, 256bit. From what I understand, the best choice would be GeForce 9800GT or Radeon HD 4850 but I'm not sure at all. Plus, which manufactor should I choose for the graphics card?
For the CPU, I wanted to buy Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, because it seems it's the most popular, but I read many negative comments about it, and many people agreed that E8200 would be better (but it's 2,66 Ghz instead of 3...)
As for the motherboard, I have completely no idea what to choose, and I think it will depend of the cpu and gpu.
The same goes for system RAM, hard drive (250GB is enough, but I don't know what to buy), and pretty much everything else...
Kindly help me if you have the patience
EDIT:
For the sound card I picked Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer. Is this ok?
