Hey Everyone,

Im not great with formalities so Ill just get right too it. I want my computer to be able to run games like Darkfall and Warhammer on medium settings lag free. I have 300-400 dollars to spend and dont know much about computers. Right now this is what Im working with
pent 4
geforce fx5200
1 gig ddr
MSI ms-6566e Mobo

Any help is appriatated , I just want a quick fix to play these certain games till I can save the money for a complete overhaul. ty
 
Hummm.... Well
Official Minimum System Requirements - Warhammer Forums
These are minimum def not GREAT by no means.
What OS you running?
What GHz is your processor running at?
Either way i Suggest you add 1GB of ram = 31.99 Kingston from newegg
Your kinda stuck with AGP for video until u upgrade your mobo so i suggest this vid card
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100228L Radeon HD 3850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X HDCP Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards = 94.99
thats about all you can do unless you want to buy a cpu.... Could tell you which one if I knew what you had:p
 
fatclown's second option looks pretty good. But i would personally go with a 4850 isntead of a 5670.

edit: and there also seems to be enough room in the budget for 2X2GB of ram; either that or go quad-core.
