Why did you buy an Intel system when it is not for gaming?

I am not overclocking and even if I did, abit boards are very good for that. As for the video card I have now purchased an ATI 3650, thought I'd try ATI. The computer is NOT for gaming (maybe i'd run SAMP) but I have my own P.C for gamesG-NOT_(:0) wrote:
lol, actually i dont. that mobo is really terrible for oc'n and far from being stable. choose a diff one, and as for your 8500gt, "it goes to show how much you fail". lol choose a diff vid card, something better, 8500gt's are bleh, get a 8800gs or a gt...hell, get a 9600gt for only 150.Kurazoo wrote:

I'll keep the O.P updated, if it all goes wrong, rub my face in it.
I know its not for gaming, you want SPEED, but the 3650 is an alright choice, 5x better than the 8500gt though.Kurazoo wrote:

Not that much though, since it's the DDR2 version. Should do just about anything else though, and bf2 for example runs fine on it.G-NOT_(:0) wrote:

lol trust me, i use to own a 8600gt and it was terrible...the 8500gt, hahaha, now thats something else. I consider any card better than the 8500gt, of course any lower than that is not better, but you catch my drift.DeathUnlimited wrote:

That CPU is totally overkill for a family computer, you could have saved $100 there. It should impress the hell out of everyone though.
exactly how is that board a bad overclocker and unstable?G-NOT_(:0) wrote:

Please remember this is a very demanding 64bit operating system. As i've said, there is little difference in price between the C2D's anyway.SpIk3y wrote:
