Am going upgrading my PC to the following because I'm sick of slow computing and it just doesn't cut it for games (I previously just ran them on low settings)
*AMD Athlon X2 4600+ (From Sempron 3000+)
*1GB Ebuyer Extra Value Memory (1x1GB PC2-5400)
*MSI Skt 940, SLi Motherboard
*17" LCD monitor (From Dabs.ie, €130 one)(Was 15")
*Liteon DVD8900 16x DVD+-RW
*A cheap, £7 or so keyboard
*I have an existing HDD, speakers, mouse, OS etc.
*Obviously cooling etc.
*E.V Black/Silver, LCD, 500W PSU Case (Ebuyer E.Value)
Its going to cost me bout €680-€730 (Including GPU) minus the money I make from selling off my old one on Ebay or in the town, but I have two Q's,
(1) Is it any good. I can't afford a Core 2 Duo so AMD will have to do, but what bout d case etc.
(2) In terms of graphics, my current graphics card is shoddy (Unlocked P.P, Overclocked GeForce 6200). Am planning on getting either a 7900GS from Ebuyer or a 8800GTS from Buy.com (How much is P+P to Irl). Is an extra €50 worth it?
Help v.much appreciated
