Here is my current PC:
Athlon XP 1700+
1 gig ram
160gig PATA wd 2mb 7200rpm
geforce 2mx400 64mb
I had a friend help me make this in June 2002 for around $600 including a 17in CRT.
These days the only game I play is World of Warcraft. My current computer tolerates this at the lowest settings. I'd like for this game to run at high settings AND be able to browse the internet. Ideally I would be able to run 2 screens - 1 for WoW and the other for office applications.
What kind of system do I need and is it possible (without monitor) to get in the $400 ($500 max) mark?
These days I visit a gaming center when I want to play well, and the monthly tab for that habit is around $40-60/month. Thats part of the reason if I wait until February or March for prices to go down, I will have spent the discount in another manner.
The gaming center has Dell XPS 600 I believe, P4 Extreme editions, 2gig ram, ATI x1600 w/256ram
That's a bit overkill - so I would like something better than what I have but not that much power.
