The GT240 I posted is the equal of the 8800GT..except it's cheaper and uses around 50% less power. |

I may have been looking at it from an AUD$ pricing... |

That makes me wonder - what's the longest a video card has ever remained on the market? I remember building my computer several years back and considering the 8800GT - and nowadays it's still kicking ass. |

I'm thinking more about selling it rather than building it for myself. The market is too saturated though. But I may have options selling locally. For now I'm sticking to selling iPads. |
lol, you and your business schemes. nerds build their own computers, non nerds buy their computers from reputable retailers, leaving you some where in between, aka a ditch. |

You could probably actually spend around 30 dollars less on the cpu as well.
but yeh, suffice to say there's two things that below the pricepoint you really don't get value for money I'd go for
1tb/500gb hdd
and 8800gt or hey if the 240gtx is cheaper and better and better utility (less power) then sure go for that. Either way they're probably around 4-6 faster than a laughable 7200gs :haha: |
