And you would think, after getting a half clip to full clip of AK74 rounds into the stomach, you would die.... but not in that game, why? cause your an american, thats why :roll:
Coolmax do not get. here is my list of PSU brands to trust:
FSP
Enermax
Seasonic
Silverstone (I believe almost rebadged seasonics)
Coolermaster (I dunno, they have decent reviews)
Antec (only the HE and Truepower series, i got the truepower, its amazing!)
Sparkle (for budget)
Ultra X2 Connect and Pro series
Rosewill 450w dual rail
It isnt the best, but from reading on professional reviews (not the complaints on HardOCP, as most of those guys don't even know wtf they are talking about) proves that these rebadged PSU's from some company far far away, are pretty darn good for the price!
HL2 Episode 1 is pretty nice, but cannot wait for Ep2.
Quake 4 on Ultra seems pretty nice!, and same with Chronicals of Riddick.
FEAR isn't as nice as everyone says it is. I admit, it does look nice, but it just feels like they use the dark rooms to really hide the poorly designed charactors, i dunno, but it could be just me.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter has nice graphics too! to bad the game sucks, I mean, you cannot even pick up a dead soldiers gun?
BF2 still looks pretty darn nice, and so does the mod POE 2.
Oblivian isn't an FPS (unless you have a bow an arrow :P) but it has amazing visuals. To bad the engine is bloated and unoptimized.
I found the game COC:DCOTE had interesting visuals, although, detail isn't that good, it still had interesting visuals :)
I would watch for a game called "The Crossing" (no, its not about how to cross a street) but it looks like it will have magnificient visuals, and its based on the source engine.
Second, CPU communicates with both ram and GPU. GPU communicates with the CPU to produce images and such as, and the Ram is used to communicate with the cpu, to load data and save data in incraments. The more ram you have, the smoother games will appear, because instead of the game loading off of the hard drive, it will load off of the ram instead (windows new feature of Readyboost allows Flash Ram to work like regular ram in creating a cache). While a better gpu can produce more polygons and geometric shapes and so forth, producing better image quality and be able to render faster and so on. A CPU will take the load on communicating on both ends. The faster the processor, the faster the communication. Although, when you get higher resoultions, and more things on the screen, the gpu is less dependant on the CPU as it deals with most of the rendering tasks on its own. BUT the slower the cpu, the slower your games will run, due to you bottlenecking your video card, and or being used up too much by backround resources. Dual cores are best because they can balance out the processes, so that not 1 core is bloated while the other isnt.
But in other words, you will get very little bottleneck, and a simple little overclock of lets say, 200mhz, will get you a long way!
there you go, monitor, OS and all. Great for future upgrade. Probably has quite a bit of overclocking potential, maybe be able to get it up to 2.2 or over ghz. It would be half decent for gaming on pretty decent quality settings (medium/high). Requires some optimization in order to get games to run smooth (get a readyboost flash drive and away you go).
But fine, I will look into an OS and Monitor, noob.
Here, I only could take a picture, or gamespot forums will not respond for me.......
Yeah i know, its missing a monitor but for a subtotal of less then 600, that there is a pretty damn good system!
Keyboard + optical mouse. Also, has a 500w PSU (dont worry, the Rosewill PSU is actualy pretty good quality PSU, go check out some reviews!) and an x1950gt video card, with a cheap AM2 board with dual core. DVD burner and a beautiful case!!!
Edit: I also have a second setup, that has a 17inch LCD monitor, but it costs at least, 17 bucks more then 600.
This game is definetly starting to shape up pretty nicely in the visuals departmant. But will it deliver the goods with gameplay? *queue dramatic music* I'll be interested to see how it turns out when it releases. Side note: I give this thread a 9 out of 10.Alaris83
for a second, i was waiting for the "STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT!"
