Is this comp good?

[Azureth]

I'm building one and got this together:

Keep in mind I'm not looking for the best just something that'll run games such as COD4, TF2, etc very well.

id go for this psu instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004
and for the memory i would go with a better brand like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231098
and for the os i would say just go with sp2 its like 10 dollars more http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16837116194

I guess everything else seems ok

add this ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 and overclock that processor to 3ghz and probably more.

2X on this.

For just $10 more you should get the VX550 with more amps on the +12V at 40A. That Antec 500 Watt is only 34A. It's worth the extra $10 difference.

The memory. Stick with a better brand such as the G. Skills. Alot of people on this forum recommend and use this memory.

thx guys, is vista worth it, im a big gamer ands stuff

 

[Falling Anvil]

Oh yeah, well I prefer this...exact same PSU but for cheaper.

 

[HardwareGuru]

Well on some games yah. If you do get Vista, get the 64bit version

Eventually, more and more games will be DX10. I can tell you this, I have UT3 in XP and UT3 in Win Vista. UT3 looks alot nicer in Vista.

[Azureth]

lol UT3 looks nicer in vista DX10 mode?

 

[tiraides]

That's really personal preference. But without making this into an XP vs. Vista flamefest, I'll suggest that you go with what you feel more comfortable with. The reason why we're recommending Vista x64 is because it's cheaper than WinXP x64 and it is better supported drivers-wise.

 

[Azureth]

so most xp stuff will run on vista right

for about 10 dollars more you can get 4 gigs of drr 6400 which I think might be a better pay off in the long run. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231148
