so i really am tired of not being able to play at 19x12 on my new screen, plus i have a copy of vista ult 32 just laying around i got for free from school that i'd like to take advantage of some dx10. anyways here's my plan, any suggestions or input would be much appreciated.
i want to keep the upgrade under $350 after all is said and done if possible.
buy:
i think i'll love this card. yall think it will serve me well for a while? (i don't/won't play crysis; World in conflict, Company of heroes, TF2, portal pretty much all steam games...those are the games i play. oh and bioshock once i buy it... can't wait to see that in dx10 on my screen )
Newegg.com - XFX PVT88GYDF4 GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail - $299 ($279 AMIR)
im a huge fan of DFI, plus i need a mobo that can rejuvenate my processor a little, hopefully 3.4ghz + . i will be upgrading to a q9450/e8400 later though...
Newegg.com - DFI LANPARTY DK P35-T2RS LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail - $135
and i'll need a new PSU since i won't trust mine with these new pieces..
Newegg.com - FSP Group Blue Storm II ATX 2.2 500W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CSA, VDE, NEMKO, CNS, CE, CB, FCC - Retail - $90 ($80 AMIR)
and finally the case which im absolutely in love with, and probably won't change my mind...
Newegg.com - Antec P182 Gun Metal Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail - $140 ($80 AMIR)
and here's what i plan to sell...
my mobo in sig - $130 shipped, essentially trading one mobo for another. if anyone wants its PM me.
my 7900gs - hopefully can ebay it for $70-100. again if anyone is interested PM me.
my Case and 500W PSU - $50-100, again ebay.
and there is my plan. what do you guys think? after everything is said and done and those prices stay the same on those products, and i get the least amount of what i was asking for my gear, that would be $324 before shipping, which is my goal .
p.s. also if there are any cheaper solutions please feel free to let me know.
