RetiredTacos Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Not a bad deal at all man...BUT it has on-board graphics, you'll still need a video card so figure 150-200 for a descent one to match up. That's assuming it has a descent power supply to run one, which it SHOULD but I'd have to look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt i never said so but it seems to go better with Intel, Since for the most part Nvidia goes with Intel, just like Ati goes with AMD. dammit you always find something to complain about my comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason you want want intel/nvidia or amd/ati is if doing multiple GPU's to make the chipset happy. That computer has one PCI E slot, so he will not be doing multiple GPU's.
