Hi guys,
First post !!
I am looking to upgrade my Dell 8400 as top end games struggle.
Currently the PC's spec is - P4 3.0Ghz, 3GB RAM, ATI X300SE
I was thinking of putting in a nVidea 8800 GT 512MB graphics card which will also require me to upgrade the PSU to something over 500w.
The question is - Am I flogging a dead horse and would I be better off putting the cost of a new graphics card and PSU to the cost of a new PC or will the P4 3.0 Ghz with the new card and PSU future proof the PC for the next year or so ?
Any comments appreciated.
Cheers
