Looks like it's still being assembled. That case seems very low-priority on protecting it's components.why are your RAM slots empty?

Why put the board in with the RAM slots empty? Look at the GTX-250 it's on top wouldn't that make the RAM slots hard to access.
Maybe I am looking at another picture?
I hadn't put them in yet, its not directly on top of it, the picture makes it look that waywhy are your RAM slots empty?
Look at it from this angle, you'll see there's nothing on top of the ram
For some reason I always envision a Mountain Dew falling into that "case."
Amen. When I actually feel like gaming, consoles are just as much fun and less of an ass pain.
I just build power saving HTPC-types these days. The capability of low-wattage CPUs and all-in-one motherboards is impressive these days.
So is the general consensus to get the 4870 and another 2GB of RAM?

I see it now! hey I have some questions. having that open case and on the floor do you get lots of lint/dust?
That's a pretty solid deal.I suggest newegg.com for the RAM as well, they can get you some pretty awesome deals. I got my last 2 GB for $34, if memory serves.
Here's a thought... what do you think about getting a Killer NIC and trying that first to see what it does? I have the stock NIC that came with the HP system.
dont listen to these tools
tell me what motherboard is it using, see if its compatible with AMD AM3 cpus, the new ones currently on the market cause they are backward compatible with am2 socket boards
I think that is entirely dependent on how clean your room is and where you put it, i consider my room to be ok and i never had any problems.
Wtf, he's got a dual core 2.2 ghz processor. His bottleneck is his GPU and RAM.
I couldn't use your pc I have rats, the top of your pc reminds me of the delorean on back to future.
It reminds me of the Encounter restaurant at LAX.
It reminds me of ChumpDumpers face.
You've seen my face?
I've seen your "O" face!
No, that wasn't me.

Ok, please help a techonologically inept person... GPU is graphics card?
BTW I found a Killer K1 for 45 bucks so I bought that. Gonna see how that goes.
It was named, "Sally".
Ugh. Your NIC will NOT affect your frame rates if you can't push the pixels! You wasted your money until you upgrade your other components. They're called "cheap fixes" for a reason.
GPU = Graphical Processing Unit. Yes, your video/graphics card.
Basically you can think of your system like a series of... tubes.
But seriously, wherever your bottleneck is, is where you need to upgrade. You could have a 10Ghz processor, but if your GPU is 5 years old, you will still be unable to play games at a high frame rate.
Your GPU is your main bottleneck. Your RAM is probably second. Make sure you have enough power to upgrade, and go for them.
Exactly, but I think the whole insane framerate notion is dumb. Its gets to a certain point where differentiating level of gameplay is not possible.Technically everything over 60 frames will will appear as smooth as anything, but as you play graphically intense games like Crysis it is nearly impossible to maintain a stable framerate, which is why you watch all the intense gamers try to set records for fps.Ugh.

This is on high res / max settings with 9800GX2 QUAD SLI. Now that is just about the epitome of graphical power which I'm sure most people won't need.
