$600-$700 computer upgrade, HELP
I play online games a lot, pretty much the most intensive thing i do on my computer. I want to either upgrade my comp for about 700 bucks, or get a whole new computer.
The thing is, my motherboard, while 64 bit or whatever, is still outdated because its 754 pinn, i think thats how i understood it anyway.. (im very computer stupid)....
Here is my current computer.
AMD K8V-SE DELUX motherboard
3x 512mb DDR400 ram
Radeon X800 256MB video card
450watt power supply (fairly new but i understand its probably inadequate)
250gb 7200rpm harddrive
i think thats all the information you need...
So, for about 700 bucks (please no higher) , what is the BEST possible computer i could build, taking parts from my old comp as well?
I dont need a supercomputer, i dont forsee playing any increditbly graphics intensive games in the next couple years, what i play now is everquest2, some random flying sims etc....
Thanks
EDIT: i have a dvd drive and cd/rw or whatever from my old computer, as well as a full sized tower that should function appropriately, i also dont need any peripherals.
Also, i would want to set myself up to overclock and do all the tweaking that techies do (i've never done it and have no idea how, but i do know some pc hardware is better at overclocking and tweaking than other stuff)
