couple days ago, i purchased a pc from NCIX. I ask a some friends about what they think will be a good configuration, yet maintain a price $500-$600. Here is their answer (all in canadian dollar):

- Crucial Rendition 1 gb 2x1GB PC2-5300 DDR2-667 240 PIN DIMM memory ($33.99)
- XFX Geforce 8800gs 580MHZ 384MB 192BIT 1.GHZX DDR3 Dual DVI-I HDTV Out HDCP DIRECTX10 Video Card ($149.99)
- Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 Dual Core Processor LGA775 Conroe 2.2 GHZ 800FSB 2MB Retail ($128.99)

I have an LCD monitor already and wireless keyboard/mouse. I plan to ask my friends to give me their operating systems rather than buying it. The total of this PC (including assembly) is $666.91) Please give opinions as to how my new pc will run and what games, if any, can be played? thnx

only thing i would change is the 8800GS to a 9600GT. the evga one goes for $170 on newegg; only $20 more than your 8800GS.

if you can still return the 8800GS, do that and try to find a 9600GT on NCIX, or get one from newegg.

The CPU, Motherboard and Hard disk are all decent. The Power supply's a little weak so won't be useful for upgrades but should suffice for now. The memory is very cheap so you will get slightly stunted performance from that, and the GPU as cee43ja1 says, is way inferior to the similarly-priced 9600GT. As it stands now that PC can play most games out there at a high level of detail, swapping the 8800GS for a 9600GT will earn you more in that department.
