Okay then! I've been out of a computar since early june and I've finally got my hands on alot of cash so here we go!
I read carefully about every goddamn part and if it shows that one of them kind of sucks then I will be pretty sad =(

First off! Graphics! I really want to play q4 fluently, and probably the next generation of games aswell...

EDIT: REASONS TO BUY THIS ONE:

I was planning on buyin X800 somethingsomething but then I called my dad and he could pay the "moms"(help me here).. through his company ... that means he would pay 25% of it.. so I could actually buy this one instead for the same price as the X800!

PowerColor Radeon X850XT PE 256MB GDDR3
PCI-Express, VIVO/Dual-DVI, Retail
4.694,00 SEK (approx 690US$)

It's on a separate shipment so shipping is included, explaining part of the price, if anyone wonders. (Who would want to read this anyway? and why the hell am I writing this down? Well anwhoo...)


The CPU and mobo etc!
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2GHz Socket 939,
512KB, BOXED w/fan (venice core! \o/, clockable t like "4000+")

DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR, nForce4 SLI,
Socket-939, S-ATA, GbLAN, Fw, DDR, PCI-E

two of these babies:
Crucial PC3200 BallistiX DDR 512MB CL2
Non-parity, 2.8V, 64Meg x 64, 184pin

and a hdd cuz my old ones suck T_T
Samsung SpinPoint P120S 250GB SATA2
8MB 7200RPM NCQ

250GB is more than enough when you have 10mbit.. I stream movies I want to see, etc ^^ (BUT DON'T TELL ANYONE! -PIRACY IS A CRIME)

and I got a Thermalright XP-120 CPU-cooler with a papst 120x120x25mm fan to go with because my superduperclockerfriend Krook told me I should! ^^

I'm thinking about getting myself MS Wheelmouse Optical 1.1A instead of the 3.0 I'm using now. After that then I'm all set! I hope they make pro-q3dm6 for quake 4 so I can own it -_-;




Update: I've decided to keep my $1000 that I have left and buy the best card out in about 6months so I will have no problem with anything. gg!



edit: I just had the worst nightmare.. I dreamt that my shipment (computar) was delayed another 20 days T_T
It was horrible. I think I even cried!

Edit: the dream was true and I just cancelled the order because they never get that cooler in =/







OK!! New order!!

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.2GHz Socket 939, 1MB, BOXED w/fan (An increase from 3500+)


Abit AN8 SLI,nForce4 SLI, Socket-939
ATX, S-ATA, GbLAN, Firewire, PCI-Ex16



The same memories but one more.. 1.5GB in total!

This one actually cost less then the one before. Yay!
