What are you going using that machine for?

 

[kiyotaka]

I allready have it.. Just wondering what i can upgrade With the socket 754 architecture.. I think the 6800 GT is probably the last AGP card that will be available from the looks of it :/..

I know i can Upgrade the ram to Kingston HyperX 2 -1gb Dual channel kit

The processor/motherboard is outdated but it really depends on what you are using it for.

Strictly gaming and watching anime pretty much.. I allready have a comp i use for general browsing and That i keep my larger media files on.


Only thing i can think of other than memory is to buy a better moniter that supports 2048 in a good refresh, and a logitech 5.1 speaker system.. can't recall name off hand but it has a wireless remote and costs approx 250

 

[kiyotaka]

I can't afford to make the jump to 939/PCI-E (as that requires about $1000 for the parts i'd want

$150ish for board
$400 for the X2 proc
$250 for a single Card that i will get another and SLI later
$150 for a good power supply that can handle those

at the moment.. I just spent $300 on the 6800 recently and i'm still paying that off.

Right Now getting a car takes priority over this.. Hopefully saving up 5k for a Eclipse turbo GSR

That's pretty sick... both the comp and the car you wanna get. I'm looking into an RX-7. ROTARY POWER BABY!!

 

[kiyotaka]

I'd get an RX but they are quite expensive to service or get parts for.

Try saving for a WRX, building the ultimate gaming pc, and upgrading my M4 to 430 fps (airsoft)....and PAYING FOR IT YOURSELF!! lol go wit the GST it'll blow your mind
