Recently I was talking to one of my friends and they said they were getting a new CPU for there computer so it would do better in games. I asked him what kind of CPU he had and it was an AMD 1.7GHz single core processor. He also has an Nvidia FX 5200 for a video card so I told him he would be better off upgrading his CPU, Motherboard, Video card and RAM. The budget is under $300, this is what I have for him so far, wanted to check to see if everything is the best possible and if there is anything better for under $300 please recommend.
Here is what I have so far:
Motherboard: Newegg.com - ASUS P5QL PRO LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
CPU: Newegg.com - Intel Pentium E2200 Allendale 2.2GHz 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
RAM: Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
Video Card: Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100265L Radeon HD 4830 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
So any combo of a CPU, Motherboard, RAM, and video card under $300 BEFORE MIR.
Thanks
