Monitor Resolution: (my screen 19inch )

Hmm seeing you on native res of 1280 x 1024 at best am thinking you could just do well with

AthlonII X3
simple low cost 770/760g/785g/880g mobo
HD 5770/GTS 450
80+ 380-500w psu
4gb ddr3

Agreed^
For resolutions like 1280x1024,cards like HD 5770/GTS 450 suffice and can handle all games fine.

 

[ibmmtr]

i don't agree i need modern pc cool clock quad core, high quality, speed bandwidth,no lag game.

 

[Maziar]

Have you checked 5770's benchmark ? on 1280x1024,it can handle all games fine.
If you want a faster card,then get a better monitor too.

 

[Guest]

Stick to your current buying plan, but buy a new monitor too,

You need a new monitor so that you can get the best out of those cards and get the graphics they were made for

Also, (OPTIONAL)

Also, if you increased your budget a little bit, you can get TWO 6850s in Crossfire, but you will need to change that motherboard with one that supports two graphics cards in crossfire.

Unless you plan on getting a new monitor then the current build you have is a bit of an overkill. I would skip the 965 and buy the 955 and just OC the difference. Otherwise, the build itself looks good but you will definitely want to get a bigger monitor to utilize the rigs potential.

nice posts

i agree with buy a new screen and i will get 21inch ?

 

[Maziar]

Get a full HD display.With that res,having a 6950 makes sense.

 

[Guest]

More importantly, it has to be 1920 by 1080 resolution or more with a good refresh rate.

 

[ibmmtr]

Full HD i don't know if i can get one !

about Res i don't like play game with high res

okay thanks everyone post here

 

[Guest]

The whole point of the 6950 is high res, the whole point of gaming is high res, the whole point of this entire computer is high res!

 

[ibmmtr]

oh is that true ? about high res

 

[Guest]

Do you even know what resolution is?

 

[ibmmtr]

mmmm no't yet !?

For resolutions like 1080p,6950 is a great choice;otherwise,for your current resolution cards like 5770/GTS 450 are enough.
