want to buy pc.here's my list of parts:

asus p5 pql pro mobo
nvidia 9800gt 1gig 256 bit gpu
4 x 1gig OCZ 800mhz ddr2 ram
3.0 ghz core 2 duo 8mb cache

good enough?:confused:
 
You might want to look at a 4850/70 instead of the 9800, otherwise it's fine. 9800 is a great big rip off IMHO unless you go GTX+.
 
9800 is R600 cheaper than the 4850 and R2000 cheaper than the 4870.

The 4850 is better value if:
1. you can afford it.
2. you actually need it (tell us more)
 
Sure...it's just a question of is it good enough...for what? Do you want to play Crysis in 1680 or just open Word docs?

where can you get a 9800 for R600 less than a 4850 though?

I was reffering to 1GB memory models of both the 9800GT and the 4850

512mb cards run out of steam in some games at higher res

GTA 4 for example can only run on medium graphics with 512mb ram at 1280x1024.

If you want to run it on high, you need 768mb.

At 1920x1200 you need almost 1GB.

A)1280x1024 and upwards
B)FPS mainly
C)R15,000 (for complete pc)
D)Music and surfing net(downloading)...
 
What is the price on the items you listed first? Will the R15k have to inclu screen, keyboard and mouse? You can still get a decent pc for that price...
