|  gaming computer I've been trying to put together a gaming computer for about 2 months now and I'm having trouble. All I know is that I want a computer that will able to handle new games such as bf2, hl2 & source, and F.E.A.R. when that comes out. The only parts I'm sure that I want is 80 gigs of HD from Seagate, nVIDIA 6800 GT, and either 512 or 1 gig of ram. Everything else I need help with, so can people post good parts for a computer and try to keep the overall price at most 1000 dollars. Thank you  |

 | ABIT is horrible, go with DFI LanParty nF3 250GB. It has great overclocking options and has AGP 8x. Corsair is only good w/ selling value RAM. If you want to game, you need to get DDR2 RAM, like OCZ, Patriot, TwinMOS, maybe even G. Skill. But if you really dont want to spend $100+ for RAM, go w/ Corsair ValueSelect, TwinMOS, or OCZ Premier Value. 3200+ is great, that will OC nicely, and is necessary for future 64-bit gaming.

| For a mobo I'll change it to this: Asus K8V-MX VIA K8M800 w/LAN, 5.1 Sound IEEE-1394 USB 2.0 8x AGP Motherboard The Corsair was already the Corsair-Value/Major Brand but I may switch to Kingston Hyper X or Geil Ultra X whichever is the best for gaming. |

| ASUS is fine. Geil is a great RAM company, can OC well.

| I think the corsair is fine. I really don't understand why everyone talks about getting RAM other than whatever. It's 1gb, I really don't think you'll notice a difference if you get a more expensive brand.
