Ooo, new computer posts eh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Antec 900 ATX Ultimate Gamer Case, Corsair 750W PSU, Gigabyte P45 MoBo, Intel E8500 Dual Core 3.16 GHz CPU, Zalman CPU cooler, 8 Gigs of OCZ Fatal1ty DDR2 800MHz RAM, Diamond Radeon 4870 w/512MB RAM, Diamond Radeon 9250 w/256MB RAM, 2.25TB of disk (3 750GB Seagate Drives), Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer, Sony DVD burner, Logitech X-540 5.1 Speakers, and Microsoft XP Pro SP3.

I reinstalled Starcraft/BroodWar, Half-Life 2, Diablo II, Doom 3 and C&C 3. I also bought Dead Space. So far it's not bad. Not as scary as folks are saying though in my opinion.

I've heard both good and bad about Fallout 3 so I might have to check it out.

as you probably gathered by now, cost is not of the essence right now *g*
i just bought a laptop für 800€ to tide me over for 2 to 3 months . . i figure about 1.5 to 2k € will be what i spend on the system as a whole . . RAM, CPU(s), GPU(s), PSU, Case(allready here), HDD, Optical Drive(yeah, it's probably not worth it, but i calculate 200€ for a Blue Ray Writer) and Software . .
8 Gigs of FB DDR2 will cost 400€ right about now, which is allmost as much as one Xeon Processor with 4 Cores cost some weeks ago . .
another idea . . let's say i am ready to spend about 2k nuyen . . erm €uro i mean . .
what kinda hardware would you suggest for that kinda money?
Complete Setup, without having to really look at the price, as long as it's below 2k . . no screens, only tower interior . .
and if you feel like it, would be nice to see, what you would suggest to get a really good price/performance rating too O.o
if you don't wanna have to look up €uro prices,just use $ prices and let's say 2k $ . . with todays €/$ Exchange Course, i will actually probably save money that way ^^
