I'm trying to build a computer that will handle HD movies and run any games DECENTLY, but I'm not looking to play FPS games so I don't need MAD graphics. I'm mostly interested in whether the products are reliable and actually fit together and I have enough power, memory, etc to last me for the next 5 years. My price roof is $850, including a 24" LCD 1080p TV (not shown). Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike911 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Don't get a 9500 if you seriously want to game. If you want a 9-series, you can get a beastly 9800 GTX on newegg for about $130. I bought two not too long ago from newegg. It came with a free copy of Call of Duty World at War... it's not modern warfare, but hey, free stuff is always fun. ha.

Bahamut Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Yeah, I'd seriously up that video card. I've seen the 9800 GT go for only ~$30 more at times, and is definitely worth the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeCrusher Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Yeah, if you look around for deals, you can get a 9800 GT for cheap. Ive seen them listed for 65 bucks after rebates for the MSI version I think on newegg after rebates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Also, I don't know how much you can pare down costs on other items, but here's a DVD burner for about $7-8 cheaper: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151176 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
