Please put more emphasis on the absolute chritical choice of GPU. It can't be repeated enough.

Fixed.

CPU The Athlon 64 X2 (dual core) 4400+ is a good fast 2.2 GHz.Tech Report said: "The Athlon 64 X2's gaming performance is outstanding." And in testing the chip with an adequate but not outstanding graphic card they got the following:Doom 3 640x480 227 fps |
Because people are buying a new comp to be able to play 4 year old games at 640x480 resolution?
As you said yourself... no system is better than their weakest link..
Someone replied in the thread saying you shouldnt buy an AMD CPU because bla bla bla. That's bull. Any desktop CPU you buy will be able to run the latest games! (the CPUs that are too slow are no longer sold anywhere). As long as you choose the right GPU.
