I just saw the Asus Gaming Laptop today at Best Buy. Model # G50Vm-X1. I have researched and researched and really I have not seen any cons with the system. However, I am not really sure what to think about the processor that it has. Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo T5750 @ 2.0GHz. How is this...

Hi all, NVIDIA GeForce G9700M GT 512MB any thoughts on this GPU? I cant find any reviews anywhere! How well would it hold up in something like CoD4? This will be run in a laptop with an Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.0GHz and 4GB DDR2. If anyone knows of any reviews or has one of their own please...

Thanks for the responses - yea I had been planning on an 8800, but the 9800GTX's price just seems too nice to not go ahead and get it. Kind of a "noobish" question, but would the 9800GTX work with this mobo? Just wanna be sure before I move any further :) Thanks again.

Ok, so I almost have a list for my first custom build PC, but I am stuck on picking a GPU. I will probably be playing on a 22" possibly a 24" monitor. No SLI. Games such as Crysis, CoD4, Bioshock, etc. I would be willing to spend the extra $100 or so on the 9800GTX providing there is a...

Oh I see. Would a single 2GB stick do ok for a while? What about a 600W PSU? What about the NZXT Apollo Black Steel case? Also, the ZeroTherm Nirvana NV120 CPU Cooler looks pretty nice. Thanks again.

UPDATE: Ok, I have drawn up something new: CPU: Intel C2Q Q6600 MoBo: GIGABYTE P35-DS3L RAM: A-DATA 4x 1GB DDR2 CPU Heatsink: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro GPU: EVGA 8800GT 512MB PSU: Cooler Master Real Power Pro 750W HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200 RPM CD/DVD: Samsung 20x DVD/RW Case: Cooler...

Awesome thanks for the info. I have a lot of reading up that I need to do.

What about this mobo/CPU bundle? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3208228&Sku=MBM-P5NE-Q6600&SRCCODE=PWATCH&CMP=OTC-PWATCH

Cool thanks for the responses - gotta head out in a few but I will start reading reviews on what has been listed. Im sure I will be back with more questions :) Thanks again.

Thanks for the quick responses. At this point I do not ever see myself overclocking. I would use the computer primarily for gaming, and on a 22" maybe a 24" monitor.

Ok, so I had been planning on buying a DELL XPS 630 up until yesterday. I added all the upgrades that I would want to go with on my 630, then realised that I was looking at ~$1800 without a monitor! So, I have opted to go with building. I made a rough list today of what I thought would be good...
