I'm not a hardcore gamer in the sense that I don't "acquire" every new game that comes out, but I do have a bunch of Steam games and would love to be able to run Crysis and Modern Warfare 2, as well as upcoming games for years to come.

I use my PC mainly for browsing the web and playing multimedia nowadays, sometimes playing Half-Life 2 mods, but I think that's just because its gotten too old to play anything relatively new. I really want to get back into PC-gaming. Console gaming is overrated when you have a powerful PC. Here are the specs, laugh all you want. It cost me $735 at the time:




Here's my list of parts so far. My rig is going to run Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate 64-bit (I can get that legit, without buying). I can pretty much salvage my hard and optical drives from my current computer:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition Callisto 3.1GHz Socket AM3 80W Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASUS M4A77TD AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
GPU: SAPPHIRE 100283L Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0
PSU: OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready
Case:COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP Black
Memory: Patriot G Series ‘Sector 5’ Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3

Any suggestions? And please no "just buy a Dell/HP/whatever" comments. I dislike pre-configured systems because they come with trialware and other crap to down the price of manufacturing costs for the company, and because having a warranty on separate parts is better than having a warranty for a whole system. ]]> Tech Discussion Product F(RED) http://www.pspmod.com/forums/tech-discussion/59522-building-new-pc.html http://www.pspmod.com/forums/tech-discussion/59310-best-cheap-netbook.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:09:56 GMT Hey guys what is the best netbook in your opinion that I can get for $300 or less?

I forgot too keep a windows portion and my hard drive is a bit fucked. I tried to to reinstall vista but the hard drive isn't formatted right and I don't know what do do.
