Hey all, with summer around the corner im hoping to grab a job and get some money to upgrade my gaming rig, my current rig is decent and can run Source and Age of Empires 3, Dawn of war and guild wars, but i want something more, i wan to get ready for Battle feild 2142 ect.
Current rig:
Pentium 4 3.0 ghz
Asus P5PLD-2 Mobo (Duel Core Support)
1 GB DDR2 (2x 512mb) OCZ 533mhz Ram
MSI NX6600GT
Now this i what im looking to do in this Order-
New graphics Card (most of my money)
upgrade to 2 gig Ram
And then my dad will help me out with a Duel Core 3.4ghz CPU
So my idea for cards... What better getting the Geforce 7900GTX or the ATI X1900XTX??? Whats the up sides and down sides to the performance on both cards.
Also i figured i would go duel core since games are gonna start supporting them more and more and 3.4ghz should be enough for 99.9% of games with 2 gigs of ram and one of these cards backing it up dont you think??
Thanks for some input.
