Ok, so I want to buy and build a kick-ass gaming system. While money pretty
much isn't an object, I don't want to go out on the deep end. The system I am
having now is:
P4 3.2 Ghz
Serial ATA drive
1GB of DDR SDRAM
Asus ATI Radeon 9800XT 256 Mb
MSI 865PE Neo2 mobo
This already is a very good system, but when running Doom III, I get about
20-40 FPS on "ultra high" settings in 1280x1024. I think this is bad. I want to
bump that up to at least 60-80.
So, what system should I get?
Which motherboard?
Which CPU?
AMD?
P4?
64 bit?
What memory?
How much?
What graphics card?
ATI X800?
GeForce 6800?
What brand?
PCI Express?
AGP 8?
PCI-X?
What disks?
SCSI?
Raptor?
Raid?
Water cooling? (noise is an issue)
Or rather, if you could build together your dream system, what would it be?
Just name it, then I'll buy it, build it and taunt you :-D
