Well, the PC market is always rapidly changing but this one can hop along nicely. Nothing top bill and the state of the art, but you must have figured that out yourself. Just slap another gb of ram into your pc if you are not thinking of changing too much and get all the latest drivers and you should be good.

The 8800 GT has been released a few days back for around 200 dollars or 250 euros, might be worth getting.

Dump the Corsair PC 5400 ddr2 and get PC 6400 as a minimum. And I'm with Gazz.
Dump the ATI X1950XTX and get a 8800GT instead. And that 975 mobo is a little
dated also. This board is in the same price range.

And you don't need the gigabit network adapter. The mobo you have listed, as well
as the mobo I listed both come with Gigabit built-in.
The E6700 cpu is a good cpu but I think you'll be better off getting a Q6600
instead, same basic price.

But I wouldn't say it was outdated, maybe in need of a few improvements

cheers guys your input is greatly appreciated, i think i'll go with the 8800 and boost the ram and thats as far as me pockets can reachfor the mo.

thats wot i like about this forum " if u dont know ask" and theres allways a reply.

thanks again

i have to say your system is nice and should play any game out there at decent frame rates.
But yea like the guys said the 1950 (while light years ahead of my card) is a little dated and if you have the cash the 8800 rocks
and always the more ram the better!

however if you don't have the money to spend on upgrades right now i wouldn't give it a second thought if i were you.

is this the stub that plays sof2
