Thanks for the list, I have one question. What do you think of using the CPU + Motherboard native video capabilities on this combination?
Intel CPU Core i5-2500 3.30 GHz Box (1155)
Asus M/B Intel P8H67-M LX B3 A/L/V (1155)
I read some reviews that said the performance was very impressive, with no extra video card cost.

And that is what we do. But she would rather buy clothesI think as a couple you should both plan your expenses and weigh them up against your income.Ok, let's get down to business.

All of these are within my budget and the prices are the final value I'd have to pay (after taxes and using some promotional discount points I have on my credit card).
Also, If you think you can suggest a desktop setup for this amount, please do so (leave out monitor, keyboard, and any peripherals).

Well, I finally got permission from my girlfriend to buy a new machine* . I still don't know if I'll go for a retail laptop or I'll put together a nice gaming desktop (I really don't have a lot of free time on my hands these days), but either way I'll post some questions here later to get your opinion on potential components.
*If you have a gf, you know you require this before every mayor purchase, so don't go around calling me whipped... because I know I am
-
Awesome. I hope those new German servers can take the heat, can't have those rabbit posts going all Cheshire on us
I'll see if I can be of any help with the Spanish and Italian subtitles.
-
Theres no other Civil Protection based machinimas out there, other than Combine Nation, that measure up to Ross Scotts work with CP.
If you like a continuous story, you should keep an eye out for "Shelf life". They've only gotten around to releasing the first episode, but the project is not dead and their work is really impressive.
-
Excellent advice!Ross is still settling in from his move... Go watch some Max Headroom while you wait.
-
Buy it then?
My piece of crap 2006 PC can't possibly run it
I've got to convince my gf to let me buy a new one... I mean... I'm sad now
-
Im currently reading World War Z for the first time. Im sad I hadn't found it sooner.
We'll meet at the Hero City then. Bring your Lobo.
I also only get to read it when I donate plasma.I told you not to hang out with vampires, they never do anything for free.
-
Here's a picture of me.. and a local policeman.
Whoa. You've got some big hair man You remind me a bit of Gene Simmons and Slash. I foresee hot women in your future. Awesome.
Also, if you see happen to see Darth Vader around, please tell him from me that the final "Nooooooooooo" in episode 3 made him look like a wuss
-
Im going to sleep, goodnight everyone!
I'm also sleepy. Goodnight.

Like not telling you before he does it...
Unless he does this on a different date, I really don't see how people could take anything released on the 1st of April seriously.
Then again, the youtube comments seem to contradict my previous statement.
I don't know anymore... I'm sleepy.
-
The canon ended after Terminator 1 as far as I'm concerned.
-
whose that clock tower behind you? bet she has some great hands, just the thought is giving me a big ben.
(two horrible puns in one post, oh God)
-
Not today. I did have breakfast.
-
It needs to be updated, with The Tunnel part 2 and FM 32
-
Mhmm. Currently, I'm mostly looking forward to episode 32... It's been a long time
-
Thank God I know where my fallout shelter is.
Thank God I know where my towel is
-
I'm surprised. It actually has pretty good reviews on amazon.com. I might include it in the next batch of purchases.
-
I was just reading this on slashdot. As I understand, the attack doesn't take place until 2 more days, on April the 21st. There's still time to go smash some hard drives to pieces
-
And that's why you shouldn't quote out of context...
C'mon, where's the fun in that?
-
Mhmm. This place seems a bit abandoned right now. I might as well start things up again.
This is me at Warsaw, Poland, in January 2004.
I'm the guy freezing his ass off, not the bird in the sky, in case anyone wonders.
-
I finished reading that "Torment" book, second in the "Fallen"... eh... "saga". It was not very good. I don't think I'll buy the third when it comes out. Well, that's a lie, I'll buy it, but only because I hate leaving a series incomplete.
-
Mhmm. A flame war about capitalism in a youtube ads discussion. That could be categorized as, for lack of a better word, art.
Add my friend Archer to the equation and this would become a very busy thread
-
My door itches. Is your foot normal?
Oh, I hear. Blue morning to me.
Post your setup!

Ok, ok. Don't give yourself an aneurysm, I was trying to see If I could save a few corners, remember I don't have a lot of time on my hands to play games, so I won't be using this at it's maximum capacity very often. Also, since I live in a far away country, some things are not available here and if they are, they cost a lot more than in the states.
How about this?

M/B Intel P8P67-M B3 A/L (1155)
Video PCIE GTX460 1024mb DDR5
It's a dual core... Mhmm. If you want to see the site I'm looking at, is this one for the notebooks and this one for the desktop components.
I'm not worried about that, I have a semi-new 20" LED monitor laying around. So you think this could be a good choice or would you go with the desktop? By the way, I found this one, it looks better than the last one
