O yea just for reference my current computer is an AMD 3500+ with 1gb ram running a Nvidia 6800gt.

I don't know what any of that shit means, but hey, I'm imprezzed.

**Vertabreaker** · 10-02-2008, 01:09 PM

If it was me, I would change the CPU out to a Q6600 and overclock it.

What are you building this PC for? Gaming, CAD, etc?

**scutzi128** · 10-02-2008, 01:13 PM

**Broken5hift** · 10-02-2008, 01:16 PM

wow thats a pretty fucking sick setup man. i have the Radeon HD 4870 and get 275 fps in TF2. your setups gonna be fucking insane!

**husak** · 10-02-2008, 01:16 PM

You're stupid for not getting the old style g15. There's way too much cool shit you can do with that LCD to not buy it.

Other than that, sweet setup

**Broken5hift** · 10-02-2008, 01:17 PM
