My rig is an emachine t3604, which is a horrible computer with the stock parts:
-Integrated video card
-512 MB RAM
-Intel® Celeron® D Processor 3.33 ghz
-120 Gig HDD
I currently have these parts upgraded:
Radeon HD 4670
2 gigs of DDR2 RAM
Intel e7400 duo core processor 2.4 ghz
same 120 gig HDD
I would like to buy a computer that won't be out of the loop for a long time. (7-8 years?) I know that it is hard to predict when the technology in America will advance and how the prices will fall for stronger technologies. What should I be looking for as far as what kinds of parts to buy so that my computer lasts in the gaming world for a while.
A few quick questions:
What makes a good processor?
What makes a good Video Card?
What makes a good motherboard?
Is lots of RAM necessarily good?
Thanks
