Re: best cpu

I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but if you're really on that tight of a budget, you definitely need to tone down your video card there. I know you think it's highly necessary and all, but honestly, you just don't need that much graphics processing power unless you've got an incredibly complicated scene you're trying to preview with full textures on at full speed, etc, etc. Save yourself a couple hundred bucks and just go with a 9800Pro or something. Or better yet, get a 9800Pro All-In-Wonder so you can capture video if you need to, and still save a cool hundred.

I mean.. unless this is just a convenient excuse to build a screaming box for UT2k4....
