It looks fine. I dont understand how much money it is, since its a different currencey than im use to. The graphics card (8500) is something i have not heard of. You might want to look at preformance benchmarks for that and then make up your mind. The Mobo, you dont need AGP, its a waste of money, your card is not agp, and no new card will ever be agp unless its a budget card thats proably still going to be expensive. So go with a better motherboard that does not have agp, maybe one with sli for around the same price. everything else looks good and you will see a big boost.My performance gain in games...
don't get the 8500 if you are planning to game. the 7900GT would outperform it im pretty sure
dont buy thte 8500, its a bargin card that belongs in the garbage. the 8600 gt scores literally 2 times better in 3dmark. go with a 7950gt, 7900gt, or 7900gtx/7800gtx meanwhile if you cant afford the 8800 gts or 8600 gt.
cool cheers ^^ ill take a look at the 8600GT then :)
i managed to find a relatively cheap Geforce 8600GT that boosts the price up around ?0... but it definitely seems worth it if i can afford it lol.http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?NOV-86GT
Novatech GeForce 8600GT SLI 256MB GDDR3 Dual DVI/TVO PCI-E - ?6.38would this be right?? i take it that the SLI written there is stating its SLI compatible.. and i found a better MOBOASRock ConRoe945G-DVI i945G SKT LGA775 onboard VGA 8 channel audio mATX. Supports the core 2 Duo and is exclusively PCI-E it also has more PCI-E slots. this is around ?0... would it be worth it??? overall its come to about ?51...P.S. This will run crysis suitably right??? thanks alot!! ^^
Bump ^^ sorry for the pointless post.. but no reply in a few hours :/
yes it a good upgrade you should be able to play crysis maybe on max on direct 9 mode and medium in direct 10 mode with a few things on high
Your main problem is Vista its a resource hog and it can reduce your performance up to 25% compared to Xp.
what do you mean when you said '' Would i be better off waiting for my brothers Geforce 7900GToc 256mb? that seems to run things such as Rainbow six pretty damn well'' is he going to give you his 7900gt
[QUOTE=''Masterfulfish'']don't get the 8500 if you are planning to game. the 7900GT would outperform it im pretty sure[/QUOTE]IMO go for a x1950pro

a 7900gt is a good card. You could take that for now and it would last you untill you can afford a 8800 gts, which you would be really happy with.
a USD is worth about 0.75 Euros... and a USD is worth roughly 0.5 Pounds...And a USD is worth roughly 1,000,000 pesos... :P i love you Mexico...
Graphics card is pretty old and the processor could be a tiny bit better, but that is all
[QUOTE=''Zaeryn'']Graphics card is pretty old and the processor could be a tiny bit better, but that is all[/QUOTE]lol ^^ weeell.. the 8600 would do me nicely ^^ and the processor can easily be over clocked to silly speeds :P im not that great at that stuff. but my bro'll do it for me :)thanks for all the replies!! ^^P.s. LOL 1300 posts :)
Yea the 8600GT is ok I use to have it but my X1950XT rapes it in so many ways. (Cept DX10 and SM 4.0 but still way better :P )

[QUOTE=''oddballrulez'']Hey! im currently running windows Vista (and obv all my games) on a rather out of date computer. Geforce 6800 128mb AGP2gb(DDR)ramAMD Athlon 3400+im sick of my constantly low frame rates in games and have decided to use some of my savings to purchase a new custom built rig... I am very limited on budget as im still at school and my income i pocket money... lol :P but yeah.. the rig ive designed will cost ?17... wich is quite alot :/Xpertvision 8500GT Sonic edition 256MB 128bit DDR3 DVI TVO PCI-E(?0.67 inc.VAT) Kingston 2GB KIT (2X1GB) DDR2 667MHz/PC2-5300 CL5 Non Ecc 1.8V(?5.99 inc.VAT) ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA PT880 Ultra Socket 775 SATA 8 channel audio ATX(?7 inc.VAT) (i know the mobo isnt all that great.. but its cheap and supports both the graphics card and the processor.)Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1.86ghz Socket 775 FSB800 2MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor(?2.68 inc.VAT)i feel that this would be a suitable upgrade to boost my frame rate in games.. but id like to have confirmation as i would be rather depressed to find out i wasted ?00 :/ The processors fine.. much faster than my old one.. but its the graphics card im not too sure about.. people say they can get 30fps on the DX10 demo of lost planet.. but im not entirely sure how good that is for the price etc.Would i be better off waiting for my brothers Geforce 7900GToc 256mb? that seems to run things such as Rainbow six pretty damn well.. but i feel that the 8500 could be a nice cheap gateway into DX10 until i can afford to upgrade again...any help would be appreciated.. would the rig be a waste of money for the performance gain???thank ^^[/QUOTE]Xpertvision 8500GT Sonic edition 256MB 128bit DDR3 DVI TVO PCI-ENOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1DO NOT GET THAT.8600gt(150$) 1950xt(130$) 7950 (130$)prices are estimates. there are different prices all around.btw 1950xt is the best. *pretty sure*
