I recently bought a monitor with 1920 x 1080 resolution, so I need to upgrade my computer to something that can actually handle the resolution in at least medium graphics settings on today's games. Specs are in my sig. I built this computer almost three years ago, and since then my only upgrade is an extra 7800GT and Seagate hard drive.
I was thinking about switching out my 7800GTs with a single 9800GT, but would I notice a huge performance boost to warrant the upgrade? Also, will I experience any bottlenecking because of my old CPU? I would also upgrade my CPU, but I'm unsure of up to what model my motherboard handles. And if I want to upgrade my mobo then I'd have to switch out everything and I just don't wanna go through all that work.
Price is a factor, so please keep the upgrades reasonable.
Games I will probably play with this machine:
WoW
COD4
Left 4 Dead
Fallout 3
Thanks.
