[QUOTE="ShakesAllDay, post: 3378543, member: 579099"] I'm not as much of a gamer as I used to be. The most recent games I have played are Half Life 2, Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142. BF 2 > BF 2142. I decided not to go SLI. I picked up a [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127284"]MSI GeForce 8600GTS (OC)[/URL]. I'm teaming this up w/ C2D 6750 4GB Corsair XMS DDR2 1066 (2) WD Raptor 36GB SATA150 in RAID-0 (OS and a few games) WD Caviar SE16 320GB SATA300 (storage - music, etc.) Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R (Core 2 Quad and DDR3 compatible for future upgrades) Thermaltake 700w PSU (I don't overclock) ... plus peripherals. I'm hoping this gives me decent FPS at the above-listed games. I'm movin up from a P4 2.4, 2GB DDR 266, (2) 80GB UATA133 HDs in RAID-0, ATI Radeon 9600 Pro. That setup was decent on lower settings.
