40gb hd nothing special

ive had it for a few years now...what would be the best upgrade for it i do a little gaming nothing that requires a ton of power

Depends what type of games you want to play. I think that mobo is socket A an upgrade from that and your CPU would be most logical. And certainly a new graphics card.

 

[mcnairgunz09]

could you send me some links of some good upgrades

and whats a good cheap vid card?

 

[baronvongogo]

Well your pc needs a big overhaul. How much are you willing to spend? pc parts dont come cheap give me a figure and i`ll find something that matchs that.

lol he said cheap graphics card i doubt he has that much to spend on a 7800GT let alone go for dual core.

 

[weringo]

I think any less than the 3700+ and the 6800GS isnt worth the money for the upgrade of what hes already got

 

[baronvongogo]

Everyone has a budget he could get a 6600GT or 6800GT a 3200+ venice or even a sempron 64 2800+ maybe less. He might not be able to play the latest games on full settings but he`ll get by, not all of us can afford the latest technology.

Well he hasn't given us a budget so how am I supposed to know how much he wants to spend?
