HI!
Well here is my situation. I decided to upgrade or should i say buy a new PC!
My main focus is graphic design and of course GAMES! I want both to run smoothly, well as far 1.500,00 USD can run smoothly :P
So i need your help, to setup a rig that can run things at least for one year without worrying to upgrade.
Many thx to all of you and specially goes to Rodney for those great reviews and jokes ;)
P.S.: i just need info for the box,monitor(24" dell) and other stuff i have, tnx!
with best regards from Slovenia Dalibor aka 2re ;)

yah do that... the HD5850 is way better then the GTX275! in all terms!

I don't know, because i don't
I don't know, because i don't have good experience with ATI cards! I mean, the 3d software i use have a lot of bugs in MAYA, so i prefer Nvidia for now. But I'll do some research and see if they fixed the problem ;)
OMFG... NO! DO NOT GET THE
OMFG... NO!
DO NOT GET THE GTX275, you can get the HD5850 in a lower price and if you wait these two months or so, most lickly that the GF100s would comeout and drop the prices on the HD5850 and the HD5870 to a lower price thenn they are now!
the HD5850 is way better the the GTX275, it gets more FPS, scores higher on every benchmark, supports DX11, is more up-to-date, runs cooler, has a GIG of memory not 900MBs and is clocked at 725-750MHz insted on 633MHz, has GDDR5 insted of GDDR3!
check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT2NgkXBh3E i know its only benchmarks but i couldn't find Rodney's video, so search a bit for it.
In next month or two i will
In next month or two i will upgrade my PC!
This is what i have for now :
MotherBoard : Gigabyte GA-P55-UD5, 1156
CPU : Intel Core i7 860 2,80 GHz, 1156
RAM : Corsair Dominator DDR3 3x2GB 1600MHz
GPU : Gigabyte GeForce GTX 275, 896MB, PCI-E
HDD : 2x WD VelociRaptor 300GB, 10000rpm, 16MB, SATAII (RAID 0)
I will have win 7 on this machine and i will use PS, AE, IL CS4, Maya and for the new games like Battlefield : Bad Company 2, COD : MW2,...
Will this be good aka performance vise? OR you can suggest me what to add or remove. Any good advice i will appreciate ;)
I got little bit extra cash, so i think i can get a decent PC! And if anyone inhere needs any graphic design to be made let me know, ill do it really cheap! :P
I agree, high-end gear is
I agree, high-end gear is very pricey, but that's the way it is with everything top-notch :(

6GB RAM = 160 € = 294,84 USD
MotherB = 321 € = 486,00 USD
CPU = 266 € = 402,19 USD

They also ship to Canada
They also ship to Canada now... As for Europe, I've got no idea what retailers ship over there.
As far as I know computer parts in Europe cost a lot more than they do here, so you may need to adjust your price limit or the parts you order.
Does Newegg.com ship
Does Newegg.com ship internationally?
Newegg.com does not currently ship internationally; we only deliver to locations within the United States and to Puerto Rico.
This sucks for me!!!
Is there any not so expensive store in europe like newegg?
Ahh, I should have thought
Ahh, I should have thought about that. In that case you could go with the Palit NE3TX285FHD45 GeForce GTX 285 2GB $395

Here is what I would get.
Coolermaster 840 $190

2X Western Digital RE3 640GB [2x 320GB] $140 Total
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136297
G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 1600MHz $150

XFX 5870 $410
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150456&cm_re=58...
That ends up being $1425 before taxes and shipping. Most people aren't familiar with ASRock but from what I can tell that is the best motherboard on the market for less than $200. You may want to shop around for different memory or case depending on your preferences.
Edit: Cant forget the thermal paste
ARCTIC COOLING MX-2 $8

Do the graphic design
Do the graphic design programs you use utilize OpenGL or Directx?
