I'm going to be building a computer for my cousin's boyfriend, he doesn't do heavy intense gaming, but he wants to play COD2 mainly, and probably BF2 and CS:S. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on of the parts?
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 1MB 90nm Rev. E San Diego (939) (Retail Box-w-Fan): $233
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe nForce4 SLI Audio/GB-LAN/IEEE-1394/USB/PCI-E/SATA/DDR/ATX 64 939: $153 + $7.79
1 GB (2 pcs 512) DDR (400) PC-3200 Corsair (TWINX1024-3200C2): $123
eVGA GeForce 7800 GT 256MB DDR3/PCI-E/VIVO/Dual-DVI (Retail Box) w/ COD 2: $339.80
OCZ PowerStream ATX 2.01/EPS SLI Ready w/Adjustable Power Rails & LED 520W PS: $127.70
Seagate (ST3250823AS) Barracuda 250 GB 7200 RPM SATA: $124.00
SilverStone SST-TJ06-BW Tower Case E-ATX w/Side Window No PS (Black): $139
Scythe SCNJ-1000 Ninja Silent Fanless CPU Cooler for AMD K8 and Intel 478, LGA775: $44.99
Nexus D12SL-12 120x25mm Real Silent Fan 36.87CFM 22.8dBA: $15.99
Couple of questions:
1.) How is the Scythe Ninja? (I plan to cool it with the Nexus)
2.) For memory, should I go with 1GB or 2GB? (I've heard of the stuttering problems in BF2 and stuff, but I'm running 1GB and I'm running fine.)
3.) Has anyone has experience with the TJ-06, I really like that case, and have read some reviews about it, but I haven't seen too many people on this forum with it (any work logs or pictures of peoples' rigs would be great!
)
4.) How is the OCZ520 PowerStream PSU, should it be able handle to the 7800GT? I was looking at the Seasonic S12 600W but it doesn't come sleeved, I was worried the Antec NeoHE 550W wouldn't work with the ASUS A8N-SLi Deluxe, and the SilverStone 650W PSU was kind of expensive. If the OCZ520PS won't be able to handle the 7800GT, can someone recomend something that will? I'm also looking for a little future proof, maybe to handle SLi in the future as well...
