A. 7.5 / 10
Very nice build.
Great CPU.
Nice board.
Good amount of RAM. Not overkill like some clowns who run 12GB + even though all they do is game.
Decent drive.
Great video card. People who say that you should pair Intel with Nvidia and AMD with ATI don;t know what they're talking about.
Nice screen but i hope you're not planning on running with those built in speakers. They're shitty. Great sound is often overlooked by many gamers. Such a good system deserves great sound. Look at getting a set of 5.1 speakers + sub. These are expensive but look at the Logitech Z-5500's. They'll provide multiple eargasms and will give you the edge when gaming.
Everything else looks great to me. Except, don;t bash the Commodore 64. man, that thing kicks @rse.
****EDIT**** @ Zarn: (shame you don't allow email) For the record, you didn't get a thumb down from me. But i am interested in your comment about Intel chips 'liking' Nvidia cards and AMD chips 'liking' Radeon cards. Plenty of people know plenty more about computers than me and i'm always willing to learn so apart from the fact that AMD now owns ATI, do you have any evidence supporting the 'rule of thumb' you mentioned?
Feel free to email me. Peace.

video graphics card decision: Giga Rade 4650 1Gb vs Giga 9500gt 512Mb vs MSI GT220 512Mb?
Q. so I gotta figure this stuff out:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=Property&N=2010380048&StoreType=-1&CompareItemList=N82E16814125260%2cN82E16814127456%2cN82E16814125253&PropertyCodeValue=696%3a33099%2c679%3a44046%2c679%3a42535%2c679%3a49650%2c683%3a20729%2c683%3a10557%2c683%3a24927%2c683%3a40784%2c685%3a9618%2c685%3a9619%2c684%3a9613%2c684%3a40865%2c684%3a9614%2c686%3a25271%2c686%3a42010&bop=And
Here's the Comp I'm building:
APEX-T-381 case [Mid tower MicroATX]
StarTech ATX2PW550PRO 550W ATX12V 2.01 Power Supply
ASRock A780GMH Motherboard (w/ PCI express 2.0 port for the Graphics card)
AMD Athlon II X4 620 Propus 2.6GHz Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor
Kingston HyperX 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
VISON V221WD Black 21.6" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor (might upgrade this soon)
Operating Systems: Linux Mint (8), Open Suse (11.2), Mandriva 2010, and Win XP Home Ed. (SP3)
What I will be doing and playing:
-Assassin's Creed 2
-Splinter's cell conviction
-Prototype
-GTA 4
-NFS shift
-a WRC Rally game *aka no graphics heavy first person shooters like crysis*
-Video editing
-Live TV, Recorded TV and DVD's (don't own a TV)
-Maybe a tiny bit of manual overclocking, but nothing ridiculous, as a can't afford crazy fans, water coolers or temp monitors.
Parameters (if you know something that would work better please let me know!):
-at or under $50
-fits into a somewhat small case (that can apparently fit a GT250, but still, less cramped the better)
-NOT LOUD
-not going to be competing online so frame rate isn't "vital", but I'd like to be able to max every game above as much as possible for $50 or less (and have it run smoothly). consider me less of a gamer and more of a multimedia user.
the 3 I'm choosing between all have unique pros and cons, I'm not sure which of them are important
--------------------------------------------------------------
Gigabyte NVidia GeForce 9500GT (512mb)
Pros
-best Mem clock speed (1600Mhz which is 2x as much as competitors)
-GDDR3 instead of GDDR2 memory (I'm assuming these two pros are linked)
Cons
-only one w/ directX 10 instead of 10.1
-Oldest of the 3 (which could be a pro because it seems to have plenty of good reviews)
------------------------------------------------------
Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 4650 (1GB)
Pros:
-1Gb of GDDR2 ram
Cons:
-everything else is average, and I've heard 1Gb is pretty useless unless you are a super gamer.
------------------------------------------------
Gigabyte NVidia GT 220 (512Mb)
-I think this is the newest model to come out (supposedly a replacement for the 9500GT)
-48 stream processors (compared to the other two's 32)
-OpenGL 3.1 support (and dX 10.1) - other 2 are 2.1
Cons
-slightly slower core clock speed (625Mhz compared to 650 for the other two)
-Can't find many reviews
WHICH WOULD YOU PICK?
more processing units (GT 220) and support for OGL3.1?
2x as much ram (4650)?
GDDR3 and twice as much MC speed, but no dX 10.1 (just reg DX 10)?
Thank you so much for your response. have a great day!

A. Ok, for 2 reasons I say pick the GT 220.
#1 - ATi drivers for Linux are spotty at best (and that's only when they're available)
#2 - The GT 220 is a bit faster than a 9500 GT and it has the DX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.1

There's a performance review.
