My PC is not a gaming PC in the sense that does not have a GPU that will run games in playable frame rates, other than that is a DX11 GPU that will run any game in any setting
Was xbox 360 based on a 9800 pro of 2003 ?
No, it was based on a 8800GTX of 2006
Ok, First fix your cpu link, but make sure its an i5, you will regret getting a dual core later on.

you could get a core i5 2310 and still be more than ready for any game in existance. thats probably where i will go when my phenom II finally runs aground.. which at the industries curent rate is half past NEVER (either that or i will show around and get a 2400S) also do not.. EVER get tha gtx X50 (gts 450, gtx 550, gtx 555, gtx 550ti, gtx 650) series from nvidia they have a bad track record of sucking eggs.
if you want to spend similar money get an amd hd 7770 and whoop is monkey @$$ for the same money while consuming half the power

Actually I already own the antec 900 case from years ago. But I'm moving across country before I build the computer and Idk if I should pay the $25 baggage fee to bring it on the plane with me or if I should buy a newer, cheaper case. Any suggestions?
