hey guys i would like to know what i could upgrade with $400 as a limit my specs are in sig, i really dont care what it is. BTW my rig is watercooled so that not an option ;)
If i have to wait for new parts that are comeing out that fine too.
 
wow your computer owns

um..i'm not an expert but i'm gonna say save a little more cash and wait for the D10 cards to come out...
 
you should save it rather than looking to spend it. seems like you've got a killer rig, at least wait till dx10 or vista.
 
yeah how much do you have in that rig anyway?

i have a suggestion... give me the $400 ;)
 
if i were you i'd save the $400 for now. wait until the G80's or R600's are released if you must have the latest and greatest.
 
well other than that it is dx10...probably not. i would keep the $ in your pocket definitely.
 
Yes, there will be a huge difference. Theres an article that says it will be only b a 30 % gain, but its not true. Tons of people on this forum have proved it wrong. The 8800 GT (the one i'm going to be getting) will pwn, and the 8800 GTX, will pwn harder. I would save up for the 8800 GTX, or just buy like 2 x 500 GB hd's if your outta space on your hd.

ROFL damn. I don't even USE any PCI slots LOL. :D

My entire rig costed me $1000 (in the PI mind you) and I still thought that was expensive.
+$100 for the x2 raptors.
 
And yeah the pics.... :)

well one is for my X-FI and the other one is there not in use becuase its kinda in the wrong place..
 
get a new monitor if you really want to then save pennies for dx10.

Personally, im saving up for c2d but i dont know if i should get it or not. Im not sure whether i should just wait and stay with what i have and wait for dx10. Or should i wait for a different cpu down the line? im really not sure.

im just thinking about upgrading to conroe seriously and saving for dx10 when good games come out.

u already have a nice dual core cpu, i wouldn't upgrade that.. games are graphics limited anyhow
 
22" 1680x1050 monitors are pretty nice. I'd get one of those.
 
i may just buy a 8800GTX and ask for a 22" for my bday that coming up, hehe...

cant wait, btw i wont get vista. so 4GB is not really needed.
 
because its the worst POS i have ever tryed eveything seems to be laggy,game,windows ect. and on my lappy "vista ready" takes 5 mins+ to load windows *not installing it* so i was a bit pissed. i had tryed playing games on my gaming rig on the latest verison and cant play for crap it lags.
