hey soy,
Yeah graphics card is very important. Be sure and spend a little extra. Probably the most over-looked piece of hardware. I would say the most important, though probably pretty equal to the processor. RAM would be the last thing of the three in order of importance.Having said that be sure and get a good processor as well. Your processor can actually be the bottle neck If it can't keep up with your video card....I have this issue right now.
- As long as you have enough RAM, the quality of RAM isn't as important as the other 2.designbot
- see thats the type of info that i need, thx, i've looke up some benchmarks for the new i7 chips and the low end i7 920 can be overclocked quite a bit and holds up pretty well against other chips.soynutz7
- is it quality of ram or quantity?soynutz7
- Quantity in comparison to the importance over the other 2 for sure. (save money on RAM, spend on cpu and gpu)designbot
- i gotcha, thanks for the advice, i'll let u know what i decide on.soynutz7
- Matching the RAM to the Motherboard is very important, get that balance right and will a powerful processor you're in the right direction,booya
