Hey

I'm about to buy a new computer and this is what i'm thinking about :

AMD PHENOM x4 940
Biswal 9803
Mother board: ASUS M4A78 -EM
Hard disc: 160GB SATA II
RAM: DDR 2 or 3 2GB Kingston (later I'll improove this one)
DVD writer (if it's wrong sry, didn't know how to say this one, I'm Uruguayan so I talk Spanish)
Mouse, keyboard, etc.
Thermaltake cooler
PCI Express ATI HD4870 1gb DDR5
Or Nvidia PCI Express 9800GT EVGA 512MB DDR3

If there's anything I've forgotten just tell me...

I'll use it for these ->
Msn
Listen music
Play games such as Assasin's creed
Dolphin (Zelda Twilight princess, Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario bros wii, Paper Mario The millenary door, etc)
And normally to have more than 5-9 software apart from Anti-virus working.

Will it be enough to play with nice FPS?I mean 30+...
Thank you all, Peresh

Looks good, Whats the Ghz on the CPU? and if your worried about CPU temps get an aftermarket cpu fan, and better thermal past. Good choices are Artic Silver 5 and Artic MX-3 for paste.

In your case, getting a better processor won't help much. Get a better gfx card.

Both have importance Firt is the core speed. With 3GHZ and 2,5 or GB RAM it should run your decently. Your Graphis cards also have incidence on the speed and the quality, NVIDIA SERIES, ATI RADEON PCI EXPRESS....etc.
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional x86
Processor type: Intel Atom, 1600 MHz (4 x 400)
Memory System: 1011 MB (DDR2 SDRAM)
Graphics Card: Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset Family (224 MB)
