Hi, I've custom-bulit my computer (or had it built, from parts I've chosen) mostly for use as a gaming computer. However, with the rapidly changing requirements for games, I think it's time to upgrade. Here is my build:
AMD Athlon 64, 2200MHz (11x200) 3500+ <---I'm not an overclocker, btw
MSI K8N Neo4 Series (MS-7125) <- Crappy, but not a major issue
1024MB (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)
NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT (256MB) X 1
Creative SB0350 Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card <--- I use a headset, no use
TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R1312 (DVD: 12x, CD: 32x/10x/40x DVD-ROM/CD-RW)
2 70GB HD's <--- One is pretty old... I should upgrade but it's not a big deal
APEVIA ATX-AS520W-BK ATX 520W Power Supply
The next upgrade for me is to go for 2GB of RAM. What should I consider after this? My rig needs to be able to run games like Company of Heroes, Silent Hunter 4, STALKER, on decent video settings without bogging down too much. Online play is a must. My budget isn't extremely low, but I'd appreciate posting only what you view as ABSOLUTE NECESSITIES. Thanks.
