Here is A parts list for a pc I plan to have put together for me. Let me know what you think or any advice that I might need to hear.

HIS Radeon X850XT IceQ II Turbo

Thermalright XP-120 Heatsink

OCZ Gold Series 1GB (2X512MB) 184-PIN DDR SDRAM Dual Channel kit system memory

DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Athlon 64 processor 3000+
 
Hi if you gonna go for a X850XT you should get a GF 7800GTX or even a GT . The MSI 7800GTX is even cheaper then the X850. Plus you get SM 3.0.
 
its not worth the money man. i would agree the HIS X850XT looks great and all but its kinda old now. and $515 bucks not worth it. The MSI GF 7800GTX cost $450. you get like triple the power and you saved your self $65 bucks. :p which can go for RAM, better CPU. and ETC.
 
I agree, if you're going to spend $500 on a video card, get a 7800 gtx. Newest technology, plus it's a faster card.
 
If I got the 7800gtx what would I have to get to support it? Would my parts list change much?

nope it'd still work, i'd also recommend a faster processor... definately don't get that video card though... too pricey for what it is.
 
Definitely go for the 7800 GTX... everything else looks nice. Especially the Ultra-D! :D
 
Get the 7800GTX. I would also suggest just getting the XP-90. It is smaller, lighter and much cheaper. With such a small difference in performance also I think the XP-90 is the best choice. Pair it up with a high CFM panaflo.

Exactly how much are you spending on that RAM? With games like BF2 that can take advantage of 2GB of RAM it may be wise to just get value RAM. The difference in real-world performance is really small and you would really benefit from 2GB is BF2 and games in the near future.
