I am going to try to build a computer over the summer. I will use it for: 1) I am homeschooled and I record ,via sattilite video, classes. I have a wintv tuner card.
2) I am a mild gamer. I don't play first person games like doom 3 and half-life. I do play simulation,Flight Sim 2004, NFS Underground 2, NFS Most Wanted. Strategy, command and conquer generals, Rise of nations, AOE 3 Star Wars Empire At War.
3) I burn school on DVDs for my sis.
4) Internet.
5)I hook it up to sattilite tv and record movies
What I need to know is:1) Amd64 Or P4( I dont have enough $$$ to get a dual core)
2) How good of a Video Card( It will be nvidia)
3)How good of a mother board
4) what amount of ram.
I am upgrading from an Emachines T2692W/ 2.6 ghz celeron, 512 ram, 200gig HD, 80gig HD, intel extreme graphics 845gv(built into mother board), dvd r/rw, WinTV 150.
Will I notice an performance increase doing this? Thanks
