I'm in the research phase of (re)building my PC. I will get probably a
2400+ processor and 512 ddr and ect. I'm basically only doing this so I can play Half Life 2. questions: My budget is $50-$75 wich video card should I get? I'm looking at ATI Radeon 9000-4x/9200-8x or GeForce fx5200-8x/Geforce4 MX440 (all 128 mb). Is it better to get a faster 4xagp card or a slower 8xagp card (keep in mind it'll cost an extra $20 for a mother board with 8x capability)? I'm replaceing all of the guts of my PC except the audio card and drives. What all would you get that would total less then $300(includes=motherboard(must have 5 PCI slots),CPU,fan,Video card, RAM)? Here is my Idea: Mother board = ECS L7VTA (5 PCI, 8xagp, 3DDR, 333/400fsb) = $55 CPU = AMD 2500+ (333fsb)= $85 fan ? = $20 RAM = 512DDR-2700 (333fsb)= $60 Video Card = ATI Radeon 9200, 128mb, 8xagp = $70 total $290 see any flaws? thanks for the advice JJ |
