Don't double post...stick with the hardware thread Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8.5 x 200MHz 768MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro

Sorry man jus i think no body is goin to help me so i went ahead and went to the gaming forum with poeple that has gaming machines sorry guys wont do it again

i reccomend ATI video cards, a 9600XT at least, or a 9800 Pro. at least a 400watt PSU, 10,000rpm hard drive (i.e. a cheeta), pentium 4 at least 2.8ghz or more with hyperthreading, 1024mb (1gb) of ram, or more if budget allows, a good HSF for cooling, and if you care about how it looks, you can get a clear side ATX gamer case with neons for less then $100 on ebay or maybe a local computer store (these usually come with a PSU, as well).

I don't know what you might want but the stats for my $1000 gaming rig are as follows: This is all from Newegg.com (best prices) Abit AN8 Socket 939 Sony IDE Combo CD-R/DVD Drive Athlon 64 3500+ Zalman CNPS7700-CU WD Caviar 160GB SATA150 Hard Drive GigaByte Radeon X800XL OCZ 1GB DDR500 RAM This is about $1000 w/o a case. I'm getting a case from Xoxide.com I hope this helps. If you look at the rig you could probably guess I'm doing some serious Overclocking. You could save about $40 by getting some DDR400 RAM and about $20 on a smaller Hard Drive or save more by getting a normal IDE ATA Hard Drive. An Athlon 64 3200+ is actually a better bang-for-buck offer as its about $50-$60 less than the 3500+. The Zalman cooler is one of the best there is. I hope this helps.
