Calling all shut-ins. Can't Post

Only going to be using my laptop for traveling and the likes, getting a desktop for gaming and work at the home. I'm poor as crap, and I found this little toy for $400. I'm replacing the hard drive with a 500gb from one of my buddies, and I'm currently talking to the store owner about replacing the video card with something from nVidia, which will be a little more but not much. Coming with speaker system, keyboard, mouse, and adding on $50 for a 17'' Flat Panel monitor. So it'll be about $500 for the complete system. Good?

Coming from me it probably doesn't mean much but it looks pretty good. But yeah, the video card needs to get swapped.

He's tacking on $5 to switch it to a Palit nVidia 8500GT 1GB. :)

edit: i'll bet anything that PSU is gonna explode, get a really nice one with abnormally high wattage, seeing as you've already got amounts of memory and VRAM that you'll never feasibly use, why stop there

Wait, he's called Steve?

That's a white man's name.

He should be called Fuquan or something.

Terrible. Just because it's an 8000 doesn't mean it's superior, 500 = bad. You'd be better off with the Radeon or a 7600. And video RAM is overrated and pricey.

I have the Radeon HD2600 pro. Oblivion with everything (including AA) maxed out except grass and tree detail. And it's cheap as dirt.

Oblivion graphics aren't that great though.

he doesn't CARE about gaming performance on the laptop. My point was simply that it wasn't worth paying an extra $5 on an inferior card. Jindrak I sincerely hope you didn't already buy this thing - not only are you wasting money on something you don't need, that thing is going to overheat in no time from all the overpowered shit you put in it and the shitty AMD will explode.
