upgrading my PC

[Coke27]

the only thing i see you needing to up is the graphics card how much you got for a vid card?

 

[Noak3]

not much, right now. This will be in a few months that I buy new stuff.

Im doing work for my dad picking up branches, babysitting, stuff like that, so im hoping for around $500 in a few months.

 

[Coke27]

actually are you a big amd fan or can i suggest an intel c2d?

 

[Noak3]

I don't really care, as long as it looks good and plays well. I just want something high-end, something I can use to play high resolution (1280x1024) games.

Anyway, g2g, ill come back to this site in a little bit.

 

[Coke27]

well you can keep the amd and get a 8800gts 640mb

 

[Noak3]

how would I do that?

intel c2d is core 2 duo, right?

 

[Coke27]

ya

 

[Noak3]

so I would just get a core 2 duo that would work with my computer?

I can't go over $500 though.

You can get an E6600 and a P5B-E or DS3 for around 470 or so and that would be your budget but see...you would NOT see much improvment in games as you do understand that in no way are X2's much slower than Core 2's right?

Your CPU is a very good one for gaming and you really shouldn't worry about upgrading it until the new Agena comes out in a few months.

For now if you want to see really high FPS then get an 8800GTS 640mb for around 350 bucks. Your CPU is a good one and not slow at all.

ya, just get the 8800gts i didnt mean that the amd is no good its fine for now so just up your card
