Re: Anyone here a PC gamer? Post system specs!

The current weak point on the system is the video card, but that will change soon, probably going to a highend 256, or if I can find it a mid grade 512. The only game I have trouble playing right now is FEAR and thats cause I can't jack the settings up. I play HL2, Cod, Cod2, UT2004 without any problems however.
With your current video card, if you ever get into Battlefield 2, your video card wont even run it. You need to have Pixelshader 2.0 to run battlefield2, and you only have Pixelshader 1.4.

As far as what video card to get, just get a "high" end AGP card. I say "high" because the new ATi and Nvidia cards arent even available on AGP anymore, only PCIExpress. I would say for your system, unless you plan on upgrading, get something like a 6800GT or a X800XL or X800XT. Any of those will be a HUGE jump from what you have right now. Prices are dropping on the 6800GT's and X800's all the time. There are also awesome deals all the time on the cards. Anything more then that, and you might as well just build an AMD 64 system with PCIe due to much faster cheaper card's like the 7800GT.
