Hi, i just got this computer, it's specs are
Intel pentium 4 3.2Ghz
2Gb 633 mhz ddr2 ram
150gb HDD
Nvidia 8600gt 256mb.
I was going to upgrade the cpu and the graphic card, it can support core 2 duo CPU and i found one that's a E7500 chip with a clock speed is 2.93 ghz that will work with the motherboard, and i also want to upgrade the video card to a 9800gtx or nvidia 200 series, although once i get the first upgrade it will be a while before i can get the other. I want to know which will (Upgrading the CPU or GPU) give me the best performance increase.
I want to play games like crysis warhead and really other high graphic games, which it can do ok already, but i'm getting a high res screen soon screen soon.This is the kind of thing i will be using it for and i'm telling you to give you a better idea of what i want from it.
