Today I have put together new system. Dual core E8400, EP43-DS3 Gigabyte mobo, WD 160GB Sata and Exceleram 2x1GB DDR2 PC6400 4-4-4-12 + second hand 7950GT 256MB Leadtek.

I like this setup already. Maybe I could replace gf-card in future. Will see.
CPU runs without problems on 3.6GHz, maybe I will push even harder if stock cooler will be to the task.

Now I can play NFS:MW with 60fps on 1280 resolution with medium-high settings :cool:

Paid for system: 371€.

Translation for all in-US buying people: 371 x 0.7 €.

Regards.
