You should check the specs of that Video Card.

You can usually find a better one from nVidia for around the same price.

You kept with AMD, good job! However Hex Core is overkill; but its your money, so whatever.

You didnt go overboard on RAM.

Nice so far.

@ KuGath

If I'm going to use an AMD processor, I might as well get an AMD video card with it.

And yeah, I might tone down to X4, or a lower version of X6 to squeeze the price a tiny bit.

Thats true. Yet trust me, check that card before you buy it.

X4 would be fine.

By the way, this is Resor.

Dont remember if you recall me from a similar Thread.

I got a name change.

Name change? Nice!

Oh, and I'm looking at reviews of the 6870 right now, and all of them are giving it a thumbs up.

And yes, X4 or a lower version of X6. :)

Makes me think of DeadSpace.

How much are you spending?

Which site are you getting it off of?

Some good ones I know of are: CyberPowerPC, ibuypower, and computerlx.

CyberPowerPC.

The config with X6 1100T was only $821.

Since I'm lowering the CPU, I might amp up the video card.

Nice.

You should start with a lower priced model and beef it up.

Just check each card. Sometimes you will end up paying more for the same, or BARELY better performance.

I can use the 6850, 6870, or one from 6900+.

Since the 6850 and 6870 both came out near the same date, I might as well not get the 6850.

LOL.

No offense, but the looks of your case dont account for anything except heating.

What model is your Video Card?
