hi guyz,

i had posted a thread of whether to go for console or pc
according to you guyz,i dumped the console idea and am upgrading moi PC

my question is which graphic card is value for money.(budget abt 16 G)
and with it i would need a processor and a mother board(is core 2 duo worth it)
how much ram would i need (2 gb is enough??)
is cooling pipes and all needed??
any other things i need to add on to have a nice gaming experience??

lastly is there any performance enhancement using tft or is crt enough??

budget limitless :) but i looking for value for money

Then I suggest u go fer the Alienware Area-51....

Its a grt VFM comp....... Heh....

Listen, C2D's are d best now, but wen AMD lanuches d Barcelona, u're in fer a ride....

2 GB shud suffice... Invest in 667 DDR2 if not 800....

No coolin pipes if u're not an overclockin enthusiast!!! But they'll be silent tho...

CRT's hav the best conrast n unlimited colours... But TFT's are into the gamin arena now.... Allbeit the 19" ones!!!

Cheers...
