What needs to go?

[Dante_Caligari]

I have an upgrading question. I have a gaming computer:

evga nForce 4 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
1 GB Corsair RAM
Nvidia 6600 256MB

What needs to be upgraded first, if anything at all?

Looks fine for a lot of games as far as I know. Maybe the gfx card for a start.

Id say graphics card 7800GTX or 7800GT and 2 gigs of RAM.

 

[Dante_Caligari]

Yeah, that is what I thought. If I would have had the money I would have opted for a dual core processor as well. Thanks guys.

What type of PSU you are you using/planning to use in that system?

 

[Dante_Caligari]

Well, I have a 450watt, but I have heard that the 7800 cards will use more power, especially if you use two in SLI, and I want to get the modular power supply anyway (ultra x-connect), which is 500, or 550 watts.

ultra-x connect are the worst psu's ever invented, it's as if someone put a few double a batteries and neon lights in a see through box and called it a power supply. Don't get one, get from these brands. They make the best psu's on the market.

Thermaltake
Antec
Forton

Also OCZ is pretty good isn't it? They have a.... 520 watt modular PSU if I am not mistaken.

thermaltake psu's die pretty easy dude.... read the link in my sig.. ste has a good explanation.

I personally stick to antec for all of my psu needs...
