OK, so, I WAS gonna build this fancy dan thing, but after the 4th part failure, I said screw it, lets build one that'll really work.....

so here is my components:

ASUS M2N61-AX Mobo
Athlon 64x2 4000 (2.1 ghz) dual core CPU
Liteon 300w PSU
PNY GeForce 8500 DDR2-512MB
4x1 GB Kingston KVR 667D2 RAM
Hitachi Deskstar sata 3.0 gb/s 250gb (7200rpm) HDD
SONY/NEC Optiarc 48xCD/16xDVD burner (model AD 5170S)

in a DELL Inspiron 531 compact tower running Vista Home 64b.

To view all that power, I got a stock Dell 19" flat panel monitor, with logitech desk speakers, and a Saitek Cyborg joystick and logitech internet keyboard and 3 button mouse.

Am I frikkin jammin or what?!?!?!?

OK, so my real system is more like this:

The components: (mind you, I'm on a budget and have limited space)
1x Rosewill Ranger ATX gaming Tower ($59)
1x Corsair HX650w Professional Series Modular PSU ($114)
1x ASRock 990 Extreme 4 Motherboard ($144)
1x AMD FX6200 3.8 (4.1 turbo) 6-Core CPU ($159)
1x Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB HDD
1x EVGA GTX560 DS video card ($179)
2x 4gb Patriot Viper Extreme RAM ($54)
1x ASUS SATA 24x DRW optical drive ($24)
1x Winodws 7 Home Premium 64 bit (unfortunately, my XP disc is MIA) ($99)

played on a 27" flat panel of unknown make (too lazy to look on the back, lol) and with my Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro, which btw, has run flawlessly since I installed windows 7.. so much for that myth)
Just curious how much hate ny poor OLD computer gets (can't believe that dinosaur was built in... 2008?!?!?)

Meh it's aight, the cyborg is my favorite joystick though

no,unless you have a 3 ghz duel core,it's not going to Rock MWO,even then it would only run it on low settings
my laptops got a 2.3 ghz duel core and better vid card than you and it wont even play the game.

LOL nope, time to look at an AM3 processor, if you don't want a major upgrade... or better yet, an I3 that can outperform a FX-8050 for gaming.

In gaming for older titles and fails compared to an FX-4100 in CryENGINE 3. And if you read that spoiler bit on his, he is running a FX-6200 already

[Catamount]

Hmm, you managed to utterly fool two posters on something outlined right in a spoiler tag. I'd give this troll a solid 8/10; well done!

(and I'm glad your actual system finally did start working out for you)

[Lightdragon]

lol i love when people are too blind to read spoilers... that made me giggle a little at the dell build

There were no 560s in 2008.

I don't really grasp the purpose of this thread...
P.S.: AMD is gay~
