Any suggestions? I took this off cyberpower, I don't want to spend anymore on it either.

Looks pretty good except for the video card, if you are going to be gaming, the 8500GT is a mediocre card, if you an average gamer get something like the 8600GTS at least but if you are a hard-core gamer the best choice right now is the 8800GT... also if you're going to game, you might want to change the ram to Corsair XMS series, in other words not value select but it's still good, not a problem.



But i see you said you dont want to spend more, so if you want one of the better cards, you might have to get a dual core processor instead, which are still excellent cpu's and use the money left to get a better video card.

Case - Antec 900 is better



CPU - Get ClubIT's



Motherboard - 680i or P35 chipset



RAM - DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2 2GB



GFX - Horrible. Get a P35-DS3L and get a 8800GT minimum!



^ Ahh.. oops. Didn't know this was prebuilt. NEVER buy a prebuilt. That looks good until the GFX... horrible GFX..

Hahaha, everyones going to flip when they see the GFX part of the list. Actually a 8500 performs as well as a X1650XT!! LOL

Two 8500GTs provide poor performance and value. Better off to get a single superior video card such as an 8800GT.

Just been to cyberpower website. suggest changes:

PSU: Ultra V-series 500W

MB: MSI P35 Neo Combo-F

GPU: ATI 3850/ 8800GT, depends on budget.



But I will suggest you to build it yourself to save money

Either way he's going to lose $xxx from buying from there... +1 for custom.

Lol, I was just interested if SLI beats an 8800, in that case i will go with that GFX card.

Which one? the 8500?

Ok I reworked it, I want to stay around this price. I'm not too sure about the mother board, if you have any suggestions for that or something else that would be cool
