western digital 120 gig HD

peace

i would take it

i would rate is a good high range pc system today.

excellent system. what videocard are you running?

not bad at all, that's about what I'm running myself

better than mine

Very capable system, you've the best in regards to i875 mobos. As someone else mentioned, what video card are you running? Also, are you into overclocking at all? A P4C on an IC7 MaxIII is just begging to be pushed

Yep looks like the system i ordered. Exceept with a different mobo. But you system is very nice!

not bad what about sound and video and what type of ram (amount/#of dimms)

Well, for now, im using onboard sound but I plan too remedy that with a soundblaster Audigy 2zs and I cant believe I forgot, A Geforce 5950 Ultra

that will be a good choice for the sound and not to bad on the videocard
been looking at that card what is your opinion on it?

I really dont have too many complaints with it. It has run everything I have thrown at it. I also got 6770 on 3dsysmark03 and like 18500 on sysmark01. Im still anxious to see how it will Handle Doom3 and Half-life 2.


This is my First CPU(well, not really, I did have a Dell, P2 450Mhz for like 5 yrs, but that was my dads, this is mine, I built it). I am still new to overclockin Mobos and videocards, but would like to get into it. Actually, that is the reason I got the IC7-max3, I was told you could overclok the hell out of it.

that would be PC, not CPU... CPU = central processing unit, PC= personal computer ( i think?). sorry, i just had to correct you... my stupid teacher asked "name 5 things in a CPU"... ah nvm.

if you want to get into oc'ing, read all the things people have to say about it. doing it safely and carefully is one of the first things you should learn.[/b]

WOW

Not bad, not bad at all. The guys are right though, overclock that!! Just be careful, I know 3 kids who ruined their processors by overclocking them too far. Make sure you know what you're doing.

That computer is very good, but what's your price range? I think you should get a Monarch Computer. You can get it for about $2,200. You can also get a P4 3.4 for about the same amount. The one I'm going to get is about that much:

AMD Athlon 64 3400

MSI K8N NEO-Platinum nForce3 250 Gb Audio/LAN/USB/IEEE/SATA/DDR-400/ATX

a kind of cheap tower though.

PS: 520W

memory: 1gig of OCZ

Maxtor 160 gigs

dont want a cd burner

nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra 256 mb

Modems.....operating system.....etc...... thats w/o the monitor printer etc.

good to go, with no problems...might want to add another 120 HDD and go with raid if money permits
