Good gaming rig?

[Creepingdeath1977]

hey guys two days ago I got a wild hair up my ass to build another pc, to do alittle gaming and what not, but I havent been gaming on my lappy or my htpc so I'm hoping what I ordered yesterday will do me justice for what I'm wanting to do with it, so I need some comments about wether or not this will do for gaming and the general pc tasks.
What I have :
Ocz platnium rev2 2x512 3200
Antec truepower 500w PSU
Antec case
DVD/RW drive
SB Audigy 2 card
OS
160 GB hd
What I ordered yesterday :
X2-4200
ATI X1900 XT
Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP 24" widescreen
ASUS A8N5X Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard
Thanks ahead for the feedback

Looks pretty good. Though some would probably advise you to add another 1Gb of memory to your system. I have the same processor which is decent stock, but overclocks very nicely. Mine runs @2.6 effortlessly. The x1900xt is a very solid video card and will run most current games at med-high setings and resolutions smoothly. You shouldn't have any problems playing whatever current game you want.


Get a good gaming mouse... I reccommend the Logitech G-5.

nice monitor, add more memory.

I third the more RAM. As stated, get a pretty good gaming mouse, I have the MX518, personally I don't like the feel of the G5.

On the memeory if I add a 1gb stick will it work with the 2x512 in duel channel or at all for that matter.

sell ur current memory and get 2x1gb dual channel.

to answer ur question= yes it will work (2x512 and 1gb), but dual channel performance wouldn't be achieve.
