ok got it I'm find a 700w one and I'm sticking with my GPU the HD4670 one well I wasn't playing on making my PC wireless infact I wanted to use the Land line much faster for online kaillera

I don't know if I calulated the watage right but I got 430w with the 2.5GHZ AMD you said and MOBO with 2GB (2X1) ,500GB SATA II and the ATI HD 4670 GPU

ok I understand and I will be using or should I say saving lots of roms so I do want a 250GB SATA II just don't know if brand matters ok I c, let me ask you this then http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....&name=512MB of these GPU which of all of them is the better of the HD4670 ser? would I still need a 700 PSU or could I go lower?

You can run the card you picked in crossfire if you buy 2 (or more), but you'll need a different motherboard than the one I suggested and a considerably more powerful PSU. If you really don't plan on playing many PC games, and your main focus is emulation you do not need Crossfire. That card you picked is more powerful on it's own, than my 2 cards in Crossfire, and most emulators rely on raw horsepower from the CPU and RAM than they do video cards. yes I'm sticking with NES-Dreamcast emulators (hopefully will get dreamcast to work online) no PC games so I was thinking then if the card that I showed you was more then enough then should I get a lower one maybe to save some money or the GPU are not that much pricing? just wondering why do you have two HDD? one 80GB ATA/133 and another 250GB SATA? different formats?

I kind of figured that u were going to tell me to stick with the 2.5GHZ one ya mame has come alone away from what it use to only be. next will be the GPU i wonder if i should stick with the one ATI i showed u a wile ago or go somthing like ur s that crossfires? what are ur thoughs?

here is another AMD CPU that I found http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103210 ok I will see what's next on my list

ok that is a great MOBO that you picked out.... I picked some AMD CPU's for you to check out and tell me which one will give me the more bang for my dollar, for what I'm going to use my PC for a course this one that you said yes will work well http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103255 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103214 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103239 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103211 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819104319 I know some of them are single core, but so I heard that doesn't really matter until your doing some heavy duty stuff let me know what you think.

but can u tell me of the two links i sent u for the AMD cpu that which one will suit me for emulation playing with online emu too?

yes i understand the whole changing system bc its a AMD but i want to see which comes out cheaper the Intel setup or AMD or which one works better im a try to make a setup for both and can u tell me or fix somethings i dont need to over pay more bc i wont be using alot of fancy features

that's fine but I'm sure they have the newer models or styles to your like the AMD CPU I think this is your updated one but hey if make a kit like yours and spend less money in the process then I wont mind making one like yours CPU= http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103773 or this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103255 which one of these would be more of what I'm going to be doing?

well please tell me where and how much your CPU and HDD were I might look into your setup if you don't mind b/c here is my "setup" that I made and I want to see what will do the job for me and save me money in the long run. CPU=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116072 MOBO=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131350 RAM=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211066 GPU=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125244 HDD=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148262 PSU=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182067 case=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042 now I'm not putting up wth XP-home or the burner b/c those are giving for me but my total with my setup is $631 including the XP and burner I like to be less if it's possible b/c I still need the key board and mouse plus bracket to hold my tv and HDMI cable. however how much do you think your setup cost? and which of the two setups are better I'm assuming yours b/c you know what your doing plus I think your doing more then just playing emulation gaming but if I can have your setup without some of the fancy stuff you might have which I might not need tell me heck I might save some cash man thanks!

I try comparing what you have as your PC and what I'm buliding here and see how much do they compare to one another however as your going to see I cant find your CPU or your 80GB or 250GB HDD that your using but i think I'm pretty close to what you have here. Is your setup for extreme gaming? or just emulation? or other things? CPU= cant find yours MOBO=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131095 RAM=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211066 GPU=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102064 not sure if your using two of these or different ones HDD= can't find yours PSU=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102064 I'm guessing here for the rest OS, case, burner not sure but those aren't important and how do you like your AMD 64? better then intel or same?

will 2GB of ram be enough for me or would I need more?

I see you have AMD CPU how is that working out for you I have always used intel but never AMD. Would it work well for what I'm going to be using it for?

ya my mistake I didn't want the nvidia card I was thinking the ATX one however you tell me b/c I just you guys more b/c of what I want to use it for connecting my tv and playing emul games online give me an example of a good build around 500-650

just let me know if I got everything good I want to know how you guys feel about my setup

here is the rest of my setup so you can see what I"m working with HDD=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148262 $55 Burn=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151171 $25 case=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042 $50 OS=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116511 $90 now the PSU I'm not sure yet b/c of how much W... I will be needing

I might as well show you what I was thinking of getting with the CPU I choose MOBO=GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813128345 GPU=GIGABYTE GV-R467D3-512I Radeon HD 4670 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card $76 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814125244 I was thinking about this MOBO and GPU^^ right here I don't want anything fancy the highest emulation I will be playing is I think dreamcast or PSX my price range for my build is around 500-600 dollars I like to spend 100 or less on the MOBO

thanks I will wait just I don't want to waste money for something I"m not going to use at it's max potential

Hello everyone I am not new at play emulation games, but I love playing them so much I want to make a PC and play them on my new LCD tv and I have a built going on but I need some help I need the right GPU and the right MOBO (motherboard). Now might I add the highest bit of games I will be playing are dreamcast emulator and the lowest bits are NES and all the others like Mame and so forth. My question is what kind of graphics card will I need just to play those kinds of game? and connect to my Tv here is a sample what I have plained out for my built so far CPU=Intel Pentium E5200 Wolfdale 2.5GHz 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor $83 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819116072 RAM=OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit $39 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820227139 now here is where it gets tricky for me I need to know what kind of graphics card I need nothing fancy or top of the line just something that will do the job and run my dreamcast games smooth and the other emu. I was thinking something like this but I'm not sure JATON VIDEO-PX9500GT-LX GeForce 9500 GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Supported Video Card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814139036 but then I need a MOBO that will support that ^^GPU above please I need some advice plus anything else I need to change like the ram maybe
