Thinking on biuldin a new gaming rig

Last response: in Systems

hi guys, im thinking on building a new gaming rig.. i want to get the best i can for a midrange budget..

what i had in mind was:

-CPU: Intel Q8200 (maybe a E7400 would do it??)

-MOBO: gigabyte-ep45c-ds3

I can buy this from Spain:
(http://www.appinformatica.com/placas-base-intel-gigabyt...)

- 2x Kingston DDR2 2gb 800mhz

- GPU- Powercolor HD4850 512mb ( i have a 19" monitor)

this one also from spain:
(http://www.appinformatica.com/tarjetas-graficas-powerco...)


- PSU: Coolermaster 600W

- case: dont know yet

Im thinking to play almost all the latest games(fallout 3, far cry 2,mirrors edge, etc..and maybe the next ones like diablo 3 and starcraft 2) in max res (maybe crysis not so high)

The mobo supports crossfire so maybe in the future i could add another 4850

I cant get only 2 parts from Spain so i chose the mobo and gpu cause here they are too expensive and old here

what do u think about it?
thx! :D 

ps: try not to recomend parts from newegg that are cheaper cos im not from the us so the dont ship here :(

yeah i would say drop down from the quad to a good core 2 uo either the 7400 or 8400 would be great choices. then also try upgade to a 1gb 4870 for that extra boost.

and as for a case id recommend the coolermaster 690. im currenly using it and its a great bagain tbh!

i dont know the case yet

ive been looking the thermaltake sonata but i think i have some problems with the size of the gpu

the other one ive seen was the thermaltake m9

godfath3r:

i have a 19" monitor, i dont think i need 1gb of gpu memory..

i want a quad core cos im thinking in the future, that if game reqs go up, i can add a 4850 or maybe just upgrade the gpu

i thought of the coolermaster 600W cos its accesible in my local store..anyway ill ask for the 690

now im confused, the 4770 is better than the 4850?

if u oc the 4770 then can get it to the 4850

ive read some benchmarks and the 4850 does some more fps

but maybe de GDDR5 makes the difference..

im kind of a newbie..thats why im here asking u guys

Its really up to you man. 4770's in crossfire are screaming right now. The 4850 is fine too..but to me it seems the 1GB versions are better than 512MB.

Yes GDDR5 makes these cards faster and more efficent. GDDR4 sux tho thats why people still use GDDR3.



but the 1gb versions wouldnt make sense in my 19" monitor.. tho i could get it anyway in case in a couple of years i go up the 19"s.. but im not sure that in the future ill buy a new monitor, and since my budget is tight, i would stay with the 512
