Just a PC based Question

[BlazerWill]

If i was to buy this PC:

AMD AM2 Athlon™ 64 X2-3800+ Dual Core
512MB DDR 2 533 MHz Memory
80GB IDE Hard Drive
Nvidia Gforce 6 Series 6100 128MB Direct
Samsung 52 X Cd Writer
8024 400 Watt Colors IT Case
7.1 Digital Soundcard
Front Audio & 2 USB Connectors
Rear Audio & 4-6 Rear USB 2.0 Connectors

Would i be able to add a better graphics card, say a ATI X1300?
and add another stick of 512 RAM?

Also, is it worth paying an extra 25 pounds for the AMD 64 X2 4200+? Does it make that much difference

Thanks Will

that would depend on the motherboard. Does it have the PCIE slot to handle a video card? and I'm sure you could add another stick.. just about every mobo I have seen has at least 2 slots on it, if not 4

The 4200... it's not worth it for a machine you buy. you won't see a huge or even noticable difference. Spend the 25 on another stick of ram.

Thanks alot for your advice, you seem to respond to most of my pleas for help lol, i thank you for that. As most of your advice seems very valuable.

Would you reccomend anywhere for me to buy a seperate monitor?

Thanks again,

William

What kind of monitor are you looking for...CRT or LCD? You can try Newegg.com.

Whats the difference mate?

I don't really care, aslong as its not too expensive, produces a good picture and is 17" or above?

LCDs are the flat panel monitors and CRT are the cube looking ones.
Check these 19" LCDs out:
