Nice thread Aries. My computer broke down yesterday (faulty mobo kicked the bucket when I was trying to put in more RAM, but it was only a ddr1 p4 computer) so I ordered a new Q6600 based system, with 2x2 gig of ddr2 800mhz ram and other basic bits like a galaxy 9600GT. All that for under $980 AU, which is surprisingly cheap for my town, or even Australia. I can always upgrade in the future when it starts to get slow though I find assassins creed and Crysis to be terrible games anyway so I wont be playing them anytime soon. I could write up all the info for some reason if you would like to comment on it but anyway.
A few questions.
Whats your opinion on over clocking and should I do it?
What is a good type of LCD monitor and that is reasonably priced. I am still using CRT monitors since we have been using P4 based computers at my house and I doubt they could properly handle a 22inch LCD monitor or so to its full extent.
I have the option to get a different graphics card but I am willing to go up to $300au for it. What would be a better option than a galaxy 9600GT?
Thanks for any help in the future.

Wow. That's pretty expensive RAM. I going to have to wait a months to get that but it'll be worth it. Also what is latency?Bulletinmybrain said:

Well that was the right RAM but I think newegg fugged up and forgot a 2 in the price when I saw it. Go with the ram he suggested.EmperorDude said:

My opinion on over-clocking is this: I would wait until you build your own PC to overclock, because while it can squeeze a lot more juice of your purchase, it is INCREDIBLY easy to fry your motherboard with a simple mistake. If you want to overclock, I recommend researching the parts in your rig, seeing how well they overclock, see how hot it gets in your case, and stuff like that. The biggest danger in Over-clocking is the possibility of either frying your CPU from too much voltage outright, or slowly melting your GPU because it's too hot in your case.
LCD Monitors...It depends. With a 9600 you can't really effectively game above 1680x1050, but that's an amazing resolution as well. Your gonna want a 20-22" monitor. Just make sure it has a respond time of less then 8ms, or you will see ghosting while you game.
I commend your choosing the 9600 GT,but it is a rather mid-range card. If I might recommend an 8800GTS 512MB, that has quite a bit more power for around the 200-250 dollar range. The 8800GT is much easier to find in the Sub-200 catagory,and can handle most games on medium to high. I am currently employing an 8800GTS 512MB, and have no problem running most things on maximum detail and resolution, although I can't utilize full anti-aliasing on everything.
Also, NICE choice with the Q6600. I've put it in a build for a friend, and that thing can pump out some DAMN good speeds.
I'll hop right on thatjuandonde said:
May I also give my respects that you are in the military *Salute*Will an Evga board work? I'm not hearing very good things about the ASUS boards...
Alright Juan, here you go. This baby has some top of the line shit. It will take whatever you throw at it, chew it up, spit it out, and then do it again. I included a monitor which goes to 1920x1200 Rez. That's actually HIGHER than 1080p, and this baby will play ALL your games at that res easily.
Anythang else?
I was going to include surround sound speakers, but I'm not sure if you want them or not. Give me your email and I can send you a link to purchase all of this straight from newegg.Newegg said:

That is a terrible card for the price. The card I picked ALWAYS beats that one. Always. Maybe once the 280 comes down in price in a year it will be decent, but for now it's over priced garbage. And I'll take out the soundcard.juandonde said:
Jaun, I am warning you, the card I picked out is two 9800GTX's Welded together. You do not want that 280. It is your money, and you can do as you wish, but I wouldn't buy it. Save your money for something else.
The sites you gave me are limited in mother boards, I'm currently searching around for one.Crrato said:Any update for me??
Hey Aries if I got the system I told you about before, would I be able to upgrade my CPU or Graphics Card anytime (or do you need more information on it)? Because I can't really go over $1000 or more. Though I will be upgrading a fair bit.
Also could you post up your rig please, as you make it sound like some god-creating, world destroying machine.
