Do work at a gaming company? Why do you need all that for a work computer?

Right now I got a shitty P4. But I am slowly (as in 6+ months) Piecing together a new computer. I already got a Core2 Duo processor, Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 Motherboard, and a e-GeForce 7900 GT-KO. I just need some RAM, PSU, heat sink, and PSU and I am good to go. Anyone have a modular PSU?

[92 mtechnic cabrio]

P4 2.0ghz
1GB RDRAM
5x 500gb IDE drives (I am procrastinating on the SATA switch, it will be expensive :( )
Sound Blaster Value
ATI 128MB All-In-Wonder 7500 or some # I can't check now, at a friend's house.


WoW @ ~22fps FTL
Even Diablo 2....its like 30fps tops and it slows down to like 10fps sometimes

:(

2x Raid 1 250gb 16mb cache 3gbs sata perpendicular recording drives seagate.

Sony NEC Optiarc 20X DVD±R DVD Burner sata

SAMSUNG 2220WM Black 22" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor

Oh then I just got a run of the mill BFG - GeForce 7300 GS video card. When I was putting it all together, I was hooking up the monitor then I realized I failed to buy a video card lol. Just went and got it at best buy for $70. I highly doubt hes going to do any gaming lol.

[Jand3rson]

I got away from desktop computers altogether, bought myself and my wife laptops. But that's probably one seriously powerful rig.
