Best graphics card for a sh^tty computer

[Evi]

hey evi, do you live in the US? If so prices will be much lower than most other countries. Price around http://www.newegg.com and http://www.zipzoomfly.com are a few good places to get your parts. Best Buy and Circuit City are rip-offs, don\'t even bother with them.

it\'s not too hard really, anyone with any technical skills and will-power can put one together. And like you said, you save a boatload of cash and end up with an even better computer than a pre-built.

Plus I enjoy building it as much as using it. Gonna upgrade this fall again, probably only my CPU and Ram... I\'m really in need of 2 gigs for BF2. And for 2 gigs to stay dual channel you really need 2 x 1 GB sticks. Guess i\'ll just have to sell my current 2 x 512 on ebay or something.

A lot of newbies to building a rig make a wish list on newegg and post it for others to critique. That way you know that the parts you are buying are compatible and worth the money.

Thanks for the info.

To be honest, you can\'t build a cheaper comp than one Dell offers. All you naysayers go ahead and try and I\'ll bet I can throw you a Dell system with similar specs for hundreds less. (OS has to be legal, biotches!) You can\'t beat cheap Korean parts bought in bulk.

But I hate DELL with a passion...

But if you want quality parts and the ease of upgrading DIY!

DELL sells sh^tty parts...so I don\'t mind spending a little more.

I\'d stay away from Dell\'s desktops, but I\'m kind of planning to get the Inspiron XPS2 gaming laptop. The machine gets great reviews.
