Default Will this system perform well enough?

such as HL2, doom3,republic commando etc? Im talking blowing away lan parties and such, currently this would, but will it last?

Should i go with cheaper 256 ram, and a better card? my budget is limited at 850$ us, Thanks for the input!

your gpu suxx donkey balls for games like halflife or doom

you should at least get a 9800...and overclock it like hell

cpu 3000+ is just as good since you can overclock it to 3400+ level

this machine performs great, but if the PC has to last long then you should wait for the next-gen video cards

well, the nVidia 5900XT, a fairly chopped down version of the 5900 ultra, cost about the same as a 57u, and blows it and the 96xt away, totally

and make sure that if you buy a seagate sata drive that you buy on that is from the 7200.7 series, because htouse are the first mainstream (non -raptor) drive to be designed from the ground up to be SATA

raptor is still using a convertor.
so seagate is the first and only true SATA drive.

take a 5900 from leadtek and flash it to a 5950U and take a 3000+ 64bit.

So it overclocks very good.

asus k8v + nvidia = good overclock
abit k8v max3 + radeon = good overclock

asus k8v + radeon = bummer for overclocking.
