Hi ya all, well i upgrading id just like to ask your advice on a few matters.
First of all im running a an athlon xp 2500, 2x 256m ram, nvidia nforce2 mobo integrated graphics, samsung 160gb hd, thermaltake 420w purepower ps enclosed in a thermaltake xaser III case. Stock fans 7 in total changed a couple for different models.
Ive nver attempted to play a game on this machine due to the graphics which is integrated, im wondering if it is worth while upgrading to an athlon 64 3200 with a ABIT kv8-MAX3 mobo. As for graphics card im not sure hoping u can give me a few ideas on that matter aswell. Ive got say £140 (uk pounds) max for a card and want a good gaming pc is this achievable in what i mentioned above, as i want far cry, doom III etc....
2 cards i looked at on the net are radeon 9800pro 128mb £135.99
geforce FX 5900xt 128mb £137.99
Do u think its wise of me to upgrade the cpu is it worth it?
Please reply new to the site cheers.
