What's wrong with the graphics card? It seems just fine for playing any modern games today!

(I have the same one :P)

[Kenny]

If you are in this for the long haul, I'd propose getting a faster CPU also. Everything else looks fine 'n dandy!

The Q6600 is ridiculously cheap. Get that instead.

[Big_Bubbaloola]

Gotta agree with Quotidian there,

Just me some Q6600 and they are cheap at the mo.

Here in the UK the E6550 is something like £110 but the quad is £155, really not that much diff.

Where's Teknobry when ya need him. Someone turn on the Tek signal!!!

[Kenny]

.. Three people in a row said he should upgrade it a little bit, why does he need him? O_o lol

[Teknobry]

Sorry, at work, can only get on quickly.

Bin that graphics card, its a bag of wank. Honestly, you'll have a far better gaming experience with a high end dx9 card than a low end dx10 one.

But saying that, I've found you an 8800GT for almost the same price :D

Buy this!

nice :D

Agree! Any budget build that doesn't include an 8800 GT is really missing the boat. Damn thing is ridiculous in terms of price/performance compared to everything else on the market. Hell, even a mid or high end build could do worse.

EDIT: Plus, the Alpha Dog edition comes with a full copy of CoH. Awesome game.
