| Wanted to save some money so the plan is to use the integrated 6150, which should play BF2 at low alright, until I need/have the money for a DX10 card. I don't have much time to play games as it is now anyways, so hopefully when some DX10 games come out along with some cheaper DX10 cards and I have more times to play games this summer I'll fill the PCI-E slot.

| smart move you should try to borrow a card from a friend or something if you can or buy a really cheap used to hold you over or else you might die going from onboard video to a dx10 card.

| Yea I think I'm gonna try and get something around the level of a 7600GS or something to hold me over. We'll see how it goes with the integrated. Anyone know when any new DX10 cards are gonna be released?

| lol unfortunately the 420watt that came with the case. I tried fitting another one in to no avail. Oh well. BTW it's built now but I didn't have a camera at the time of the build, so I apologize. I'll try and get a picture of the finished product.

| The question is, how much better is it than your last computer?

| Hard to tell, I mean yeah you can kind of tell it's multitasking faster. But without a graphics card or at least my old graphics card it's really hard to tell the difference in games. I just (lol) got Far Cry and I really wanna try it with my new X-Fi and a nice graphics card. Hopefully my patience will pay off with the 8600GT or Ultra. Crysis is looking SWEET!
