how long will it last me in terms of playing current and upcoming games w/o frameskip.
because thats the best card I can get after I spend my money on a good processor + RAM

It will play most currently released games.It won't last to long prolly another year and a half before you start seeing jerky's.But you can always overclock,bump setting's down,unlock pipelines(if possible), etc.

Hi Kyin01,
Hold up - that vidcard isn't even listed at my supplier (listing starts at Sapphire X1300, cheap) and you can get X1600Pro for ~$100 bucks! You need to buy something okay. Take your time, don't rush, I know it's hard but you've gotta be smart.

Well you can spend a lot of money there... Now add the price of the two together, and there is the vidcard you need, LoL :^)
Note: X1300 sucks (for games). X1600 no record-setter, but decent performance for a hundred bucks.
Or (tycobb?) what's a decent inexpensive GeForce, lemme see here...
Ack! 6600 or 7300 - what a dismal choice.
Y'know, I believe X1600 (at newer cheap prices) is almost first entry-level choice now... or what?

LAPTOP video!?
Oh man, I see what you're about - I was thinking 'what's this x700?'
LoL, yeesh.
If you get a decent laptop with good video, it's gonna cost you...
Most 'good' laptops with fast CPUs and lots of memory don't even have vidcards - it's onboard, with shared memory.
I have seen laptops with ATI video, probably a wise purchase.
But difficult to be fast, like desktop rig...

I always say that a similar performing laptop is about half as much again.
I have just picked up a Magazine and you can get a laptop with a Turion64 MT-37 CPU, 1GB RAM, 80GB HD and ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 Graphics for £900(I live in the UK).

Just build a very good home comp and have a cheap pentium 3 laptop (thats what I am gonna do...I have the comp, now the laptop is alll I need..)
And the X700 Pro according to other such as Sammoris, should last you 5 years but at very basic or minimum settings...but it will still work with games five years from now...x1600 pro is a mid-range card for today's graphic cards (also according to sammoris)
If I insult you...don't get offended...my insults are "friendly insults"...I know this sounds stupid (ridiculous) but I am fet up of writing, "no offense" in my posts...
My Comp: (will add specs later)

Not that I want to stop you or anything but I would recommend you buy a console (360 or Wii) and buy a cheap pentium 3 laptop then..

o...that must be hard on u as well (that is if ur leaving ur family)
r u ever going to be staying someplace? I ask because if you are then get a small screen on the laptop and buy a lcd screen...if you are not going to have a "steady" home then get a big screen on ur monitor...
You probably figured this out on your own but just saying...in case u havent...
P.S.
Having a small screen on the laptop will decrease price, weight, and size of the laptop! (and maybe even battery consumption!)

Wow that is awesome!!
I get everything for only 1k$
do you know if they ship to the US or Indonesia?
If they do, do you think it will be over 100$ shipping? I never ordered something out of country before.

I have had a reply and they say that they can't ship to America or Indonesia. Whilst elokito is on about sig's, is there any easy way to measure the size of it.

One thing about a PC that everyone needs to know is: you have to make it future friendly!! If you have 2 slots of ram dont put 2x512 mb because you save 5$, instead pay that extra 5$ and get 1x1024 mb because it is future friendly leaving you a slot for the future thus avoiding to be like "Ah!!! F***ing laptop!!! Not enough f***ing RAM slots!!!" That goes for everything in a comp! Don't think just about now, think about the future! (People with consoles USUALLY do not think about the future! They just waste money on the console...thus paying more money in the long run)
@Kyin01:I am not too good in the laptop area so I am just giving you the obvious "sayings" that are quiten often missed!
