Back with a new machine!!

[Sniper1515]

Hey guys....

I just moved back from Germany and settled into my new house. After unpacking my computer I learned that SOMEHOW my Mobo, graphics card and GPU no longer functioned!. So I went to COMP USA who is going out of buisness here in Utah, Anyway they had a 90% off sale on there last day open and I ended up snagging :

P5KPL-VM mobo
BFG 8800GT OC2 GPU
TR2-430W Thermaltake PSU

all for 300$


I have everything installed and running and ran a 3Dmark 06 and was only able to pull down 6948

My CPU is a pentium D 2.8 @ 3.1 and I have 2 gigs of samsung RAM @800mhz

would it be worth going for new RAM and cpu? would I even see that much more of a difference?

I am currently (as of today!!!) COD4 ready and played 1 online round and was pulling 80-110 fps on max settings.

does this sound right?

Good to see you back. I assume you are sniper 1515 in game?

Frag you soon.

It is Sniper1515 but I was wondering what the standard on the CLR tag was in COD4?

A new CPU would definitely benefit your new gfx card as at lower resolutions it'll be quite a bottleneck.

There are also some nice deals on CPUs at newegg too.

I want to go C2D or quad but i'm not sure which to go for. I'm looking at 200-250 price range.......what do you guys think? which one is the best?

go for the Q6600. dirt cheap right now if you ask me.

Have to agree:

$240 for that much performance is a steal
Have to get your own cooling solution, but aftermarket coolers are so much better than stock it's not even funny
