it sure would work , would run fairly good i would have thought. if you buy a 32bit copy of vista/7 you also obtain the right for a free copy of 64bit.

Guru's I finally went PC window shopping, I went & got each stores most expensive computer packages (In asia btw) so guys and gals let me know which package is best, we can also mix & match other hardware just have to pay the price difference....

Option 1: ($780.00)
AMD AM2 Phenom II 64x4 955 (3.2GHz/8MB)
MP-AKGX Extreme GT3 / AS Rock M3A790GXH <- tis was recommended
4GB DDR-3 1333 Ram
Seagate 750GB Sata HD
Nvidia Geforce GTS-250 512MB PCI-E
Internal multicard reader
the rest of the little stuff like case, powersupply, dvd--rw, network card..etc

Option 2: ($980.00)
Intel Corei7 860 (2.8Ghz/8MB)
Intel DP55wg P55
4GB DDR-3 1333 Ram
500GB HD
HIS HD4870 I Cooler 1GB X3
3D HIgh Def 7.1-ch sound
usual little stuff...

Option 3: ($1110.00)
Intel I7 G20 (2.66Ghx/8MB)
Magic-Pro / Asus / Msi x58
6GB DDR-3 1333RAM
500GB HD
Geforce GTS-250 1GB DDR3
3D HIgh Def 7.1-ch sound
usual little stuff....


Upgrade Prices...
Intel Core i7 940 (2.933GHz/8Mb) -> $350.00
ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB / Geforce GTS260 986MB -> $25.00
Windows Vista Profession 64bit -> $195.00
Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit -> $265.00

option 2 should do the job. grab windows 7 pro instead of vista

Option 2 is a great Combo and good price for the performance you will get from the rig.

well these are packages and they aint the best off the shelve...
should i upgrade any of the parts?
extra ram... better graphics card... cpu...
how are the blu ray-r? should i get one or stick with the package?

im probably going to buy a CORE i7, very pricey but i just have to get the best of the best haha A few games lag alittle on my current computer.

Duo Core 2 3.3ghz with 9800 GTX

Of course games lag on a single 9800gtx...

That core 2 of yours will happily run up to 4ghz easily on air cooling too.

the i7 will get to 4ghz on air too

I know...I was talking about his current core 2 running @ 3.3

I'd hold off on the i7 for 6-12 months until the prices drop.

he should probably get an i5 really. i7 offers no improvement in performance for most things.
