Is my setup ok?

[otter583]

Ok I just built a new computer. Everything is pretty good in it but the graphics card isnt he best. I have a a nvidia geforce 6200 with turbo cache. I want to play games with this computer i have the money for a new one but i have other thing i was going to use it for but if i need a new one i will buy one. What do u guys think?

New card if you want to play the latest games.

ok will a 6600 gt do the job ok? I have a budget of $130.

yes, a 6600 gt will be fine. what is the frequency of ur pentuim D?

 

[otter583]

The frequency is 800MHz.

 

[otter583]

Also what temp should my computer be running at?

 

[Gigabite]

Your computer case should be less than 40C and CPU temp less than 60C. Of course it depends on all cpus and stuff, but most are like that. If it keeps restarting, that means it's getting too hot.

800 mhz? frequency = speed
ex: p4 at 3.4ghz<--frequency

 

[otter583]

Oh oops. Ok it is 2.80ghz. I am kinda new to this stuff.

the processor is pretty good. its a dual core so it should be a little more future proof. but the vid card has to change. the best price: preformance ratio card out there now is probably the 6800gs which will cost u about 200 bucks but should be able to play every game at full without a problem.
