Alright, so I'm buying a new PC, and I'm wondering if this is a good setup for a fair price.
Please tell what I can change to get a better performance or what I can change to get it cheaper but not lose much performance. I am pretty much trying to build a PC that can handle stable 333 FPS in COD4.
Power supply: Xilence 600W 13cm Fan REDWING ATX12V V2.2
case: care, there are enough good ones. power supply: bequiet psus are pretty good, 600Watts and 40A should do it, but 12V lines should be seperated. There should be at least 2, better 4 12V lines (this one would be nice: Dark Power PRO BQT P6-PRO-750W , but as i said 600W will do it easily) Motherboard: My asus p5w dh deluxe is still doing fine, i´d suggest smth of the striker series CPU: Intel e8400 , very good overclock abilities , high mhz is the most important thing for cod4. RAM: well as it´s cheap atm i´d suggest one of the top brands. Gskill etc. GPU: New nvidia 280 gxt is fine, but ATI is on it´s way back to the market. They really kicked out smth good with the 4870 . You´ll get almost the same power as the 280gtx for half the price. (There are some old benchmarks out there with old drivers, but the 4870 kicks ass with the new drivers.
With this system you should easily get your 250 fps on 1024x768 and 333 on lower resolutions.

These prices are only good for so long of course, and you still need to buy a case.
And i could suggest this case : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp..
