best gaming pc of 2004

Just noticed your post.
Well, say we're talikng about the bestt possible gaming PC as of 2004, then you want it with everything the market gives you. 64-bit was released one year later, as you just said, so it would've made sense to buy a 64-bit system so you could upgrade later.

And now someone buy this stuff.I'm interested what it would cost as of now, I mean, either it's worthless or totally expensive because there are so little of those things left.

EDIT: I think our specs now are:
- AMD Athlon 64 FX-53
- Global Win WBK38 (CPU cooler)
- GeForce 6800 Ultra
- Gigabyte GA-K8NNXP-940 (that's a motherboard)
- 3-4x Samsung HD300LJ
- No idea for the PSU, maybe a Q-Tec PSU ATX 350WP LOW NOISE

 

Eh, that works I suppose.

 

Alright. And now I have to check if my PC is alright. (Probably not, see you in an hour or so...)

 

I actually have a 2004 gaming rig lying around. Also have a 97 one.

 

What are the '04's specs?

 

The FX-55 was better, though. FX CPUs were also dual core.

Future proofing. Socket A was dead, 939 was not, and 64-bit would become very useful in the next few years.

Also, this is best gaming pc, not best value gaming pc.
