EQ2 Perfect System-cheapFollow

OK. I just bought (Last 3 months) a full computer rig that will run ANY game in the market. It cost 800$ The best way to find out what is the best value is through someone that knows what they're doing: A college student. Now, I run crisis on High, and EQ2 on extreme.

A good Mobo: 100-200

BEST VIDEOCARD nVidia 8800GT: 200$ (there is nothing comparable to it w/o spending 400$ more. Anyways, the bottom end cards cost 170$. Why not shell it out now?)

2GB RAM 50-70 Depending on speed

Case: You can use a pizza box...but instead, spend 100$ Look for a case thet has reviews saying it is 'cool'(temp) and has plenty of space inside(8800GT is BIG).

Processor: For EQ2, you don't need a dual core. in fact, it wont even run on the second core. Suck it up. the only regret I have had on my computer was the fact i could have spent 80$ more and gotten a quad-core(which run @ around 280) Instead, go for a middle end dual core: around 170$

Power source. 30$

I got my moniter and case from friends, so I got those really cheap, but I paid ALOT for extras.

Remember: I have -never- found better deals than on newegg.com(Yes, online is the best way to shop)

Suck it up
