Hey Folks,
I am in two schools of thought.
Very close to building my next system and would like your thoughts on going with a faster and better mobo with more ram and onboard gpu or cutting back on the ram and board but going with a dedicated gpu.
I am not a gamer by any means of the word but I do like my car racing and fps to look as good as I can get it.
I am leaning towards the intergrated system as I don't hink I am going to get a great performance out of Windows 7 with only 2 gig of ram. Also the intergrated system allows for more upgrades later. In addition I have always been a fan of Asus and Ati. I haven't decided on ram yet, just picked a stick from the list.
Also, ins electing the evo I can add more ram at a later date.
This is my build:
