Age of Conan - System one!

Well, it is a go. System one will be complete come tomorrow. So, I wanted to stop in real quick and set ya up for what it would cost to make this monster machine...

ATI 5870 1GB - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150443&cm_re=ati_5870-_-14-150-443-_-Product

MSI P55-GD65 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130239

I5-720 Intel Processor- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115215

Ripjaw 4GB DDR3 PC1600- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277

650 Watt Power Supply- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339024 (spend a few bucks more and get a name brand...but this one is working great for me)

WD 640GB 32mb cache- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136319&cm_re=western_digital_kls-_-22-136-319-_-Product (the fastest standard hard drive money can buy)

X-Fi - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102017&Tpk=sb%20x-fi (for those extra few frames and of course, better sound quality)

$1026.00 (averaged out...oh and fixed dollar amount. Missed stuff I already owned...lol)

(Add tower case and DVD for about $100 more...so worth it)

So, as you can see, to get the most bang for the buck with minimal to no cost...this is the way to go.

I have spent a $1000 bucks, and I am at the top of my game short of going for Dual Video cards.

Some people mention the need for an i7, but I felt the cost/performance ratio to loss really added up.

Now, once I get my video card installed, I will start pulling some numbers for this setup, and then we will start working on changes to settings, the .ini file and more..

Cheers
