Building A Computer
Can anyone help me decide on a graphics card for my new computer? It's Going to have windows 7 64 bit and I have heard horror stories as to its graphic card compatibility, more like there are certain ATI cards that have died at its hands and certain Nvidia cards that just don't work. Mostly I just want it for gaming and want to spend about $170 or so. So far my new comp is going to be this....
Apevia X-Qpack 2 Cube Case with 500W Power Supply
Gigabyte GA-785GMT-USB3.0 Motherboard
Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition
8gb (4x2gb) DDR3/1333
Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB 3gb/s SATA Hard Drive
I loved Windows 7 and used the RC until my old comp died and want to make the jump to 64 bit but I want to make sure I'm not going to cook my card or anything vital. Once I decide on a graphics card the rest is easy but I'm basically stuck here.
Also if this does not seem like a sound build let me know please. I am fairly good with computers but I'm still a noobsauce when it comes to most of the hardware. Thanks.
