okay, so I have my main gaming computer which is pimped out, but I'm making another one from an older pc.
----
it's current set up
processor: intel core2duo e8400
memory: 2gb
video card: geforce 7900 gtx oc
Power supply: 450w, lawl
It runs games fine, but It starts running crappy for games like COD4, Fallout 3, WoW:WOTLK with full shadows, etc.
I only have one dvd drive, using built in sound on the motherboard, and using built in ethernet.
I want to upgrade to a different video card, preferably under 500 dollars. Can anyone recommend one that's significantly better than my 7900 gtx oc? ATI? Nvidia?
I'm assuming i'd need a more powerful PS if i wanted one of the 2gpu cards like 9800 or the new ati 4870.
what about one of the ATI HD 3870 X2 1GB cards? would my PS hold up? It's holding up just fine now.
GeForce GTX 260, this seems a reasonable price too, and is getting great reviews
thanks for any input
