My brother wants me to build him a system for the lowest amount possible but still with good products.

So Far I have

Tforce 550
Brisbane 1.9

2GB's of GSkill
SATA LighScribe

Used Parts
My old Thermal PSU (works great)
My Antec 900 ( I need to order fans for it )
Raptor 150 GB (he opted for this because he wanted speed and enough for his music) Sold to him for $100 by me

What is the best card I could get for under 180 Shipped just to play battlefield at the most . He does some Photoshop too but just to mess around .

He currently has a

1.5 Gig, 256mb, 20GB, Laptop :p So he needs a upgrade because he got addicted to BF2 at my house.

Is there a big difference between the x1950xt and 1950pro ?

Enough that you should jump at it if it's less than $40 difference. I believe newegg has a $190-$20 for the x1950xt right now.

It's 189 right now : I'll pitch in the rest for him . I just need one more person to give me some insight before I buy it . Those newegg reviewers are a bunch of Douche Bags they complain about all types of dumb things. "its too loud" " the fan blows too fast " blah blah blah idiots.

connect3d one is going for $179.99 while the sapphire is going for $189.99-$20 MIR.
 
If your brother is just playing games and occasionally listens to music, you should rethink the 150gb raptor. It's currently runing at $170 after a $30 rebate on newegg. For $130, you can pick up a quality 500gb sata drive. Sure it won't be 10,000rpm, but your brother won't know the difference. More room for songs & games. More money saved on the system. And probably something like a 75mb/s transfer rate compared to a 65mb/s

He bought it off me for 100$ brotherly love otherwise I would have told him to get something else. Thank you for your insight . :cool:
 
Yeah I was going to say the same thing about the hard drive, my friend has a 36gb raptor and a 320gb seagate 7200.10 sata drive and he says he can't tell the difference and it wasn't worth it, but in that instance that was pretty nice of you.
