konata um i said i didn't need any more help thanks anyway and um why would 1 need 2x graphics cards and u double posted u could have edited other post
because 2x graphics card=better than 4 harddrives overall (in terms of gaming)
you only need 250 gigs of space unless you download 100 gb's of stuff a day. |
well actually i think swapping 4 x 1000 gb hard drive for 2x graphics card would be a waste i might as wel get 1 x graphics card and 2 x hd and save money lol if i can save money i will um and just for the record i have 150gb dl a month so yeh i wil use the hdd

AGP! All NVIDIA graphics cards over the 7 series don't support AGP, nor do most enthusiast ATI cards. I would get an Intel-chipset motherboard, a P45 board (ASUS and Gigabyte are notable brands). There's no problem with the hard drive, but the 250GB version offers horrible price per gigabyte. A 500GB/640GB hard drive offers the best price per gigabyte. I would opt for low-latency, name-brand (Corsair, Kingston, G. Skill), PC2-6400 RAM. Check out Nehalem before you order a CPU, considering you're in the price range. Even if you aren't going to get an LGA1366 processor, the prices for the other CPUs might fluctuate. The GTX 260 offers better performance vs. price compared to the 9800GX2, although an HD 4850 or 9800GTX/9800GTX+ will do well for your needs. A 1 mega watt power supply is overkill for this setup, a 750W Corsair power supply should do much better on your wallet and offer better reliability. You'll probably be able to get away with the 620W variant.
