[armoredgenji]

Hey all i wanted to know if intel pentium 4 processor is good enough to use for a gaming desktop computer I am sorta ona low budget  help much appreciated

thanks

P.S can i buy this at intel.com ?

NO, get a dual core or possibly quad core, you can get an intel 1.8 core 2 duo and overclock it to 3.6 Ghz no problem. Best of all the processor I'm talking about is only $78.99
if you can afford a quad core by all means get that instead, but they're about 3 times the price.

why don't you just posts what your spending limit is and let us help you with the parts.  You can make a med-high crysis rig for ~800 bucks...

 my spending limit is about $900 us dollars and what i want to do is make a rig that can fit in a antec 900 case and lets me play games like crysis, also with nice graphics

the 900 is a bomb case, but get something cheaper cause thats going to eat up a LOT of your budget

i already purchased the antec 900  the $900 dollars is for the inside and everything


P.S. i already have a monitor too
