it doesn't have to be g skill just heard they were good

nick_lerwill · 22 Sep 2006 at 23:37

what?

ok well what do you all recommend? under 800 quid

nick_lerwill · 23 Sep 2006 at 00:12

well i don't think he intends to o/c and i don't think he plays the most graphic demanding games

so if i got a cheaper graphics card and expensive cpu would that be any good?

nick_lerwill · 23 Sep 2006 at 00:19

ah for internet and gaming like but he doesn't play to newest games atm so i was thinking the:

BFG GeForce 7900 GS OC 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-033-BG)

is this not a pretty good card? but isn't to pricey
