I just put in my new GTX 280 lastnight, played Crysis for about 30 min and checked my GPU temp, It was at 60c. 90c seems a pretty high, though I am not sure what the average temp is.
Thought I would update you all on what I did in the end.
I bought:
ZALMAN ZM850-HP 850W PSU
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz (hope to get overclocked to 3.8+Ghz)
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066
EVGA 01G-P3-1280-AR GeForce GTX 280
BenQ V2400W Black-Silver 24"...
I looked around and I think I am going to go with the ZALMAN ZM850-HP 850W and another GTX 260. Looked at the 280 FTW card as well but in the end decided to go SLI because I have not tried it yet and would like to. It will be a couple weeks before I have the money together, but I am looking...
I am running the system in my signature, I am going to be passing down my 22in monitor to my son and replacing it with a LG W2452T-TF Black 24" 2ms(GTG) Widescreen LCD Monitor for myself.
In stepping up in resolution from 1680x1050 to 1920x1200, I am wondering if I should get another GTX 260...
Well I held off on the original game. This seems like the time to go head and order it.
I found the, The Witcher Enhanced Uncensored Edition(UK) on Amazon (Gogamer) for $59.90.
I can't wait to try it!'
I've been reworking Bethanys face a bit.. I think I like it where it is now..

I am not sure how I got it sunny in Kvatch.. Maybe a weather mod..
I have been playing around with the screen shots the last couple of days. As far as the mods I use these are the ones that matter.

I have 4 kids and all are gamers, my oldest daughter (17) is mostly into the Sim2 though. My other kids 13, 11 and 5, (boy, girl, boy) game with me all the time. I have 4 computers on a lan setup with a 5th to run dedacated server games when thats an option.
Well I got the floppy drive to add SATA drivers at XP install and bios updates if ever needed.. Though I am just guessing I need it for the SATA as I have never installed Windows on a system this new. I figuard 6 dollars was a good safety net price.
I am just trying to stay under 2500.00...
Glad I posted, with the change of processer I am able to bump up the video card to the GTX and still keep it around the same price.. (infact it's a bit less over all) So how does it look now?
I see alot of new game builds on here, must be that time of year or something. Anyhow I am planing on building a new computer in 3 weeks.
Here is what I have in line to buy:
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
EVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX...
Starforce, well after reading all the bad things people have to say about this I had stayed away from X2 and X3.
Well I got X2 as a gift a couple weeks ago and desided to try it. (It's about time for a reformat anyhow) Man I love this game, I had 0 problems with the Starforce protection. I...
I've got 2 computers with lite-on DVD/CD burners. I have no trouble with starforce on either computer. With that said I DO NOT like it though, I like to play without the CD/DVDs in the drives as I also have 4 kids and CD's get scratched and even lost at times.
Mongoose
I have BF2 installed on my D drive with windows on C and The patch intalled just fine for me, though it did seem to take a while.
As far as Nortons, the last time I patched this happend to me as well and I had to Delete it from the list and permit again, then all was well.
Mongoose
I was having trouble with the video drivers as well, I have a ATI 9800pro in that computer. I downloaded some user tweaked ver. from Guru3d.com and now it seems fine..
Seems strange.. But it sounds like you've narrowed it down to the video driver maybe...
Yes the Repair install worked, a couple of my motherboard drivers needed to be uninstalled and reinstalled before I got my network working again.. But it all seems fine now..
The computer has the same motherboard as mine in the my Sig.. Its not my main rig and I can't think of anytime i've...
Having the same problem with one of my computers. Looks like it did a auto update on tuesday. Now it won't boot. I can get into safe mode though. I did a system recovery for just before the update install but still can not get it to boot into windows. I am now doing a a Windows repair install...
