So i know im not allowed to say much but ive been playing the WAR beta for awhile and been playing it on "decent" rig and the game looks A M A Z I N G, Screenshots do not do the game justice what so ever and if somebody says its "cartoony" or "WoW" graphics then they are going to be floored once they log on.

 

Anyways back to my brand new rig i got today and put together.

 

Brand new Black Case (Its basic.. the usual 4 Fan ports)

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+

2 Gigs DDR2 800

Seagate 80 GB HD

Geforce 8600 GT 512 mb PCI-Express

Xion 630w ATX power supply

 

Can i get some feedback on my new rig? How do ya like it and no i havent ran WAR on it yet.]

 

 

PS- Can anybody tell me how can i host my Sig in the bottom? Pls .. Tks

Well...I don't know how much money you had in your budget...but..

  • Only 2 Gigs of RAM?
  • 8600 instead of 8800?
  • AMD and not Intel Quad?
  • Only 80 gigs of space on the HD?
  • Please tell me you didn't get Vista.

Behold! Rash of the Itch King comes in November! Quake in fear!

Almost exactly like my new comp and I didn't have tons of money, but I can always upgrade the video card and get 2 more Gigs of RAM.

How nice of you to be an ass about it. Not everyone has tons of money to blow on a computer.

Anyways, that system is decent and should run the game fine.

As I said before, I didn't know your budget. But hell, even without a ton of money...

CPU, RAM, and Graphics Card are the things that will influence gaming the most. Of course, you need to get the appropriate motherboard and power supply to run them. Also make sure you have something larger than 80gig HD. That's exactly what I have and I"m constantly deleting stuff to make space. I'd say get 64 bit XP operating system.

Google "MMORPGMaker" if you want to make your own MMORPG.

I like Tiger Direct. I bought components there and built my last computer. Lots of people like NewEgg as well.

The folks on the VN Hardware board are very nice, and will help you pick components in your budget.

I kept wanting to like Vista, but everyone says forget it. Just stick with XP till they come out with whatever is after Vista.
