Your mobo should be compatible with what you have listed. I would go for a different brand like sapphire or so just because I've heard horror stories trying to RMA through XFX. Also for $50 dollars more you can get a 6950 2GB which can possibly unlock to a 6970. As for windows, I would just get W7 x64 (32 bit is pointless now). Your programs should run fine in W7 or in compatibility mode.

Links don't work

Honestly you should build your own as previous posters have said (or get a friend to). You could get a very powerful gaming rig for that budget and have quality components too. For example, a sandy bridge i5 build would look as follows: mobo 125-130 CPU 210 RAM 80 PSU 80 495-500 Then add a nice graphics card (~$300), HDD (50-80) and a case (80). Well within your budget and much higher performance than what was listed previously. Also Windows 7 professional can be had for $30 if you have a .edu email. (i.e. student)

WIP posted, edited original post

The problem is that if anyone would to do this I think they would finish just as Skyrim is coming out, but thats just my thought. (I agree that it would look good)

You need to edit the normal map texture. Open it up in Photoshop or Gimp and go to channels, look for alpha (create a new channel if there isn't an alpha channel) then make it black or a really dark grey. In NifScope, you need to make sure that the texture mode is set to apply modulate not highlight.

I wasn't saying rip if from the game (you cant anyway as it isn't out yet) but I put it up for an idea, which is not against the rules.

Kinda like this . . . http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=17032

I know its for a different game but there is going to be a "Dead Space Armor" for DA2, could be used for ideas for anyone wanting/thinking of making this. edit: i guess I'll add a picture http://nexus404.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads2/2011/01/Isaac-Armor-Dragon-Age-2.jpg

I wasn't trying to say that you made it up or was lying, I was genuinely curious. Though now thinking about it, it could have been ripped from a beta or something. Sorry if it came across that I was trying to call you out.

I'm curious how there is a rip if the game isn't even out yet. . .

Edit: so I guess nobody has any other pictures of this outfit. Not matter I decided to give it a go anyway. Here is a WIP shot I figured I'd share with you guys, what do you think? http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz310/mcole254/3D%20stuff/lineageWIP1.jpg here is the reference image I'm going off of http://belleschoses.b.e.pic.centerblog.net/qnb3ditk.jpg

You should post pictures, people having to google it themselves doesn't help the chances of it being made
