Well, All I think that I have to say is that I'm on your side TMH1988 (if I dis you, I'm talking to lpjuunin). If you have an x700/6800 or above, you've got a card that rocks. Here's the sad thing. I paid less for my comp, I bet, than lpjuunin and it probably plays games better. My computer has:
AMD athlon xp 2800+-cost me 80 dollars(paid my friend 90 because he let me pay him later)-so don't dis me, and it came with the motherboard
which is an NF7-S
X800XT all in wonder GPU-300 dollars If I remember
512 MB RAM-40 dollars
120 MB HDD-free (christmas present) It was external but I took it apart and put it in my computer
integrated sound : (
Monitor-free 1600x1200 (friend's dad's work got rid of computer stuff, they were throwing away the best monitor I have ever owned)
wireless KB and mouse-30 dollars (works great, too)
CD-RW was from my brothers old comp-free (only 12x, but I never use it anyways and it works well enough when I do)
5.1 speakers (x530 from logitech)-30 dollars on newegg with thanksgiving discount that I recieved from newegg because I bought a 300 dollar graphics card.
DVD rom from old comp-free
PSU from friend 50 dollars (worth 70, he got the wrong one and wanted to get rid of it...)
Case from the same friend-10 dollars (really old, but I spraypainted it, looks like It cost 50 dollars, you can see your reflection in it (used special paint that bonds to plastic-looks nice, if you have a crap case, try painting it, I painted the drives, too)).
Black glossy spraypaint- two dollars
Total 552 dollars-give or take 10
It plays Halo on full settings, 1600x1200-no lag, period.
If you wait for the best deals, you can get a computer for almost nothing. It runs any game at nearly full settings (and I'm getting the following soon)
new-RAM, Motherboard,Processor, Sound card, SATA RAID, so on. It will probably cost me 1000 dollars if I get descent stuff. I don't think nerds pay a lot, they pay less and get better stuff anyway. We are smarter than lpjuunin, at least with computers, but oh well. In fact the only thing I spent more than 300 dollars on was the video card, and it makes my computer way better because of it. It makes my computer Rival almost any stock computer out there that cost 1000 dollars plus, and it cost half as much, because I have enough patience to wait. And people like us burn people like lpjuunin because we can, he would probably burn us if he could... anyways I'm sorry for the rambling and the other such mean comments, well some of them (I think forums are a great place to vent). Anyways, I am merely suggesting to lpjuunin that you reconsider what you said, It really makes you look, stupid. Not retarded, retarded people have an excuse, you just look stupid. I would also like to say sorry about grammatical errors that I don't mean to have.
