Only 2 things i don't really like is the cpu fan and the memory. DDR 800 is really cheap and so is a decent cpu fan/heatsink. The PSU and the Case is subpar but for budget's sake i'd let it slide, card reader is not needed, just a waste of money. |

id opt for a better PSU. Since you are running a beast of a card, you will need a very solid PSU. If that fails, your card will blow up and you might have to spend another 400 on a GPU. Also, you might want to get a seperate sound card, since onboard audio blows, unless you arent an audio guru. Probably could use a slower GHz processor or just go to a core 2 duo if you want to save some more moneyz |

Ack I already bought it >_____< shouldn't be a problem though, by the time the PSU failed and he card blew up a newer better one for the same price probably would have come out lol oh and as for sound card; yeah the on it comes with is purposely crappy because I have an expensive external one for my keyboard and mic; but Im worried the drivers won't work with 64 vista >< |

hey this is a returd question but, i noticed the graphics card said something about having ddr3 memory; but my motherboard doesnt support ddr3 I don't think, does that matter only for the ram though? |

Your motherboard does not need to support DDR3 in order for the video card to make use of its GDDR3 memory. |

lol Theterk you were right; they were like " yeah um. . . your graphics card. . .and um. . .8 gigs of ram. . . will obliterate your psu; we reccomend: blah blah" 100$ more >< apparantly my psu was shit lol. That set it to 1700 >-<; gah i really didnt want to spend nearly that much on a new computer, but atleast it should play WAR and aion on full settings, in the future I can always buy another 9800GTX and that should increase performance as well; anyways thanks for all your help guys <3 |
