with all the quality settings off, and no fsaa...how cool ;)

keep the 5200, and save up for a 6800non ultra later...... Upgrading from a 5200 to a 5700 is a waste of time really.

AMD for gaming
« Reply #70 on: August 29, 2004, 08:43:41 PM »
AMD proccessors are great for gaming. They run a little hotter than Intel because they do twice the work at lower clock speeds, with adequate cooling, you got nothing to worry about.

I run an Athlon 2500Barton, 333 fsb. Currently set to 2.1GHz and 400fsb. Since your mb has decent on board sound, and add-on card is a waste of money. The video card isn't that hot. If you want something in the FX 5700 series, get an"ULTRA" version. Go to Newegg.com. Gainward Golden sample edition is a good buy and has great features for this line of card.  Barton 2500's are extremely over-clockable, too, so you can save some money there.  A good case to look at is the Antec Solution series at@70.00. They're specifically designed for running cool and AMD cpu's. Mine works well, it's quiet and comes with a 350W psu, which is more than enough for the components you chose.  Spend the extra money you save and get WinXP Pro w/SP1a.
Get heat sinks for your RAM...thermaltake.
Just my 2 Cents, but I speak from first-hand experience with most of these components.

ok, your wasting $55 on ANOTHER PSU when you already have one in the case, yet you wont spend 160$ on a gfx card?!?! If you save $55 on the psu, you can add that to the $105 you want to spend on gfx...what do you get? $160 :D

also, what about a XP2500 barton how much savings is that?
