Okie dokes : ) By the way, what do you think of the following config and would you change anything?: 1. Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 - 2.53GHz 2. Motherboard: Gigabte EP45-DS3L, Intel P45 3. RAM: 2 GB Kingston DDR2-800MHz X 2 4. HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB SATA 5...

Can the same be said about Palit and Zotac versions of GTX 260? There's one from POV too. All three are listed on TheItWares.com site. Sagar

Thanks for that nugget of info on GTX260 Desiibond. I didn't know there was a new version. How does it compare to the Radeon HD 4870 though (the guru3d review of it is good)? I see a HD 4870 from Palit and Sapphire listed on TheITWares.com. Are these two the same as Radeon HD 4870? Amitash: I...

@Desiibond: That was one heck of a marathon review man! Thanks a ton. @nvidiageek: Like Desiibond said, 1280x1024 or 1280x768 is fine by me. Sagar

Prateek, thanks. I'll see if some of the local stores has a model lying around. You're right about extra fans and heat sinks though - if need be, I'll get them. @Ashis: Thanks for the sharing configuration. : ) @Desiibond: Do you know how Zotac 9800 GTX AMP and GTX260 compare in performance...

@Prateek: Thanks for the recommendations. Thermaltake Xaser VI & Coller Master Cosmos 1000 cabinets are a bit on the higher side but will the mid-range ones able to handle the heat that my system would generate while playing high-end games? Sorry about the noob kind of questions: I'm just new to...

Thanks for your suggestion, Desibond. I'm closely watching that thread to find things that interest me :) Prateek, Zotak @ 15000 sounds reasonable. And good to learn about AMD too. If it can do the job, I don't really care about the company so much. Gaming is actually the only need right...

Thanks for your suggestions, Prateek! That's sound like a cool config. I've NEVER bought an AMD though - can it lead to compatibility issues with games? I looked around for pricing on the things you suggested and here's what I got: AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black: 8800 Palit Radeon HD 4850...

Hey folks, My name is Sagar. I really need some help with setting up a gaming rig before my current PC that I lovingly assembled dies of stress, lol. Here's my current (coming-of-age) config: Processor: Intel Pentium IV 3.0 GHz Memory: DDR 2 RAM - 2 GB (1GB X 2) Motherboard: Intel...
