2- Video Card
3- Sound Card
4- Display

Some Tips :

* Motherboard I want Gigabyte or Asus only no other craps
* Video Card I think I will move to nvidia with the DX10 .. Don't know SLI Or Not , and which model ....
* Sound Card I will go with creative X-Fi for sure ,, which one dont know ...
* Display I don't want big ass screen and I want it wide screen , maybe 19 " or 21" not more than this ... I start fell that my 17" is small ...
* My sound system is the headphone , the speakers only when friends come
* maybe change to 80Gb Sata 2 or something .. but not raptors ...
* I will buy 160GB Sata 2 for active use and I will Back Up All my files on DVDS and CDS like you said .. This the best way ..
* The Games Running very well now ..

Guys Help me , Tell me If I want to upgrade .. and what I need ..

I will sell my old parts that need to change then upgrade in the next month ..

thanks very much

 

I'd think about upgrading your display and hard disk. More RAM would be nice too.

 

No? Yes? Maybe?

What do you use the PC for? Is it too slow at the moment?

 

i know the perfect thing. the MENSA hyper-Xtreme synapse Xelerator PLus edition.

 

I'm sorry, I can't see much need to upgrade any of that. If you've got 2gb RAM there's not much need to upgrade that. The only reason to upgrade that video card is an actual need to use DX10. If the motherboard works, I can't even begin to imagine why you would want to upgrade it. There's no reason to upgrade a drive from SATA to SATA2 unless you're also getting a bigger drive, because despite the cool name you won't even be able to measure the performance difference, let alone feel it.

Maybe you could upgrade your monitor, because it's a bit small.

Beyond that, you said it yourself - "The Games Running very well now .. " so unless you really like wasting money, what possible reason do you have for upgrading?

 

the 22" monitors are nice and can be had for under £300 it just depends if 1680x1050 res is good enough for you

 

personally i think widescreen 19in tft's are to small, i was comparing them to my 17'' tft, and well i was disappointed. planning on getting a 20'' or 22'' tft as there at a good price right now.


and dear god get some HDD space, i have two 160GB drives and well there getting full, with installs and ''Backup's'' of my ''DVD's''

250GB drives are £40 to £50 depending on brand, any smaller then 250GB and you waste your money as the price dosent really drop that much compared to size.


Your X1950XTX will keep you going very well until better DX10 cards are out, and DX10 gaming is more main stream.

 

here we go , thanks brothers for the replays

ok this mean I will change to this :

Display : SAMSUNG 226BW Black 22" 2 ms (GTG) DVI Wide screen Link Found Review In Bit-tech Link

Hard Disk : Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Link

Keyboard : Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard Link

* I will Change the keyboard because I have Genius KL-210 .... its piece of crap ..
* My mouse 2000dpi .. and fast response ,, its kick ass in gaming , no need to change it .
* This my head phones . SONY MDR-XD200 Link I love them ... Strong Ass Headphones ..

i dont think trig read your recent post, the screen you picked is fine, have a look at what Dell have to offer, as they are great screens!!

 

yes

 

Really I don't Know now ...

 

ive got the older samsung 225bw and while its great for gaming i must admit im not overly impressed with dvd playback, but because i dont realy use it for dvd im not botherd, still the 226 could be better see what the reviews say about it

 

yeah, sorry...missed that...that one rocks, and like burn said, dell's kick...might look at hanns g as well, or ben-q...but that samsung is about as good as it gets, so then it comes down to price...pick four or five you like and analyse it from there...

 

almost forgot but i think the dell 22" use the same panel as the samsung

 

which dell .. I cant really find the price ..

 

looking at this the uk price of the dell is a bit cheaper than the samsung but the specs look the same as my older 225bw

Nice . its cheaper but ..

I don't think they are same ? if you check this there is a big different

you mean this Dell E228WFP ?

But This seems that Samsung is way better : here what I mean

Dell E228WFP ( according to Dell web site )
Response time : 5ms
Brightness : 300cd/m²
Contrast Ratio : 800:1

Samsung 226BW ( according to Newegg web site )
Response time : 2 ms (GTG)
Brightness : 300 cd/m²
Contrast Ratio 1000:1(DC 3000:1)

so what now ?

 

i mean my older 225bw is 5ms response time but the newer 226bw is 2ms, you pays your money and takes your choice
