Will this gaming rig work?

Hello all,

I just wanted to make sure if the components on this Newegg wishlist would be compatible with each other, as well as capable of playing newer games (i.e. CoD4, MoH: Airborne, etc.).
-------------------------------------------------------
Apevia ATX Case w/420W ps (Item #: N82E16811144039)
Abit ATX mobo-LG775 (Item #: N82E16813127024)
MSI GeForce 8600GTS pci-exp (Item #: N82E16814127284)
P4 HT 3ghz Cedar Mill-LG775 (Item #: N82E16819116004)
---------------------------------------------------------
*NOTE*
I already have 2gb RAM and a 100gb HDD

Thanks!

umm dude a p4 is old.... its icky and should die

Whats your budget.

Also what ram is the 2gigs cuz 2gigs dont mean shit

two of these:


CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300)

and your budget is?

$400

for tha amount you better of going either low end intel core stuff of x2 amd stuff

I'd check frys because sometimes they have amazing deals on bundles of amd or intel processors with boards

Ya. Different PSU, different cpu for sure.

An e2140 and a nice like antec 500-600w should do you nicely.

mm I was thinking a x2 5600 and a board for 129.99 would probably better

ahh...so a 420w won't cut it, huh?

i'm gettin a 404 for that link

I wouldnt chance it plus it come with the case and case psu's are crap

Its under cpus and motherboards

Hate to burst your bubble, but this is by no means a gaming rig at all. This right here is a glorified office system

Listen to their recommendations - they'll steer you in the right direction for your budget.

Haha--ok.

Well, based on what you said, is it even feasible that I can make a system under $400 that can handle playing something like CoD4, 1024x768 on decently high settings?

Possible....very possible, just get a cheap AMD X2 CPU, a ABIT KN9 MB and a 8600 GT GPU.....something like this....however it would help a shop from where you want to buy it....
