trenken,

The specs look OK, but I'd suggest you consider upgrading the E6400 to the E6600 processor. It's a 2.40GHz vs 2.13GHz, though more importantly, you gain an extra 2MB cache (4MB total) for just a few dollars more. Well worth it in my opinion. Regardless, looks like a nice system, so congrats!

I´ve stickied the thread. All future "specs" and hardware upgrade threads will be merged into this one.

There's always room for improvement. To be honest though, with specs you've listed, I'd wait to play SH4 on the system. This way you can set the eye candy to a level you're comfortable with, and guage how well it plays on your system. Based on that, you'll have a much better sense of what specifically needs upgrading, if anything.

Seriously though....

Seems that your prediction was true!

Yeah. Honestly, there is no way you could run SH4 on less than 1 GIG. Those who can afford to upgrade to 2 GIGs should do so in my opinion.

Your rig will run it, Jamoz, just not at the highest graphical settings.

I am not surprised.

What are prices like in other countries ? In australia an average PciE 8800 graphics card , 2 gigs of ram , an 6600 core 2 duo cpu and a good motherboard and a descent case with 550watt power is about $2000 ($1572usd)plus extra to assemble . Plus other stuff i havnt thought of .
