800 would definitely be better to work with. I'll see what I can do.


The video card is out of stock. Could you maybe find a ATI card equivalent to that?

Also, is this CPU better than the one you put:

Isn't it better because you can unlock two more cores?

If you were to buy this computer soon you could get an open box 460 hawk which is overclocked and cheaper but its only for so long

if you read the reviews, people said that they have unlocked two other cores on it.

Yes but, if you do it, theres a good chance that the cores are so faulty, that it will forget your whole motherboard and CPU.
The only reason they lock the cores in the first place is cause they are faulty.

ah, since that is settled, can someone find a graphics card?
I don't need something like $200. around the $50-$100 range.

What games do you want to run?

Highest thing I would ever do would be Need For Speed Hot Pursuit. Other than that Source games.

What about $150?
All the ~$100 ones are last gen, so wouldn't support DX11 and some don't support DX10. It wouldn't be wise to get one of those.


That's a good choice.

yay, i'm adding it.
Anyone know of a good monitor?
