Hi there! Over the summer my rents divorced and my dad got my gaming computer so I went out and bought myself a 1000 buck Dell. My mistake, but never-the-less, I have it. So I've gotten along fine with it, I had to buy a WD My Book External HDD for it cause it had a small 80 GB HD. I think I need to upgrade my Graphics Card and my RAM. Here's it's specs:
Intel Pentium 4 Processor: 3.40 GHz w/ HT Technology
2 GB Memory @ 533MHz
ATI x600 SE 256 MB w/ HyperMemory
and then I guess evertything else is stock.
I filled the 80 GB HDD with games, mainly Source Engine Games and Mods.
I had thought long and hard, I did the math, and I decided it was pointless to just build my own PC from scratching being I just bought my Dell.
I do alot of Video Production with Garrys Mod (MOD for Half-Life 2) and I want to be able have less "lag" while I play and produce videos. I think my processor is fine and won't be entirely out of date for a while. Should I upgrade to 4 GB of RAM and then upgrade my graphics card to something like a PNY - Verto GeForce 7300 GT Graphics Card - VCG7300GXP which seems like a nice card and at a reasonable price. Also a quick question about this card, it says I can use 2 of them to enchance its power using some sort of a connector, do you suggest it? I'm trying to not spend more than 200 bucks on a graphics card and possibly acheive 60 fps or more. Just tell me what you think. Thanks!
