Once upon a time I had a computer that was considered to be one of the nicest in the neigborhood. I won't go as bold to say it was the best in town, but it was running all the games everyone wanted to play. This was 7 years ago. 2.44 GHz, 2 gig of ram, 256 mb graphics.....It was pretty good for its time. Slowly though.....it became a peice of crap. I tried upgrading my computer last night to a 512 graphics card but it just wasn't good enouph for me. So....i have decided to get back into computer gaming. i' am going to build a beast of a machine. But therse a problem....
My old computer is an AGP slot type motherboard. I can't upgrade it slowly and still use it. I have to start from scratch -_-. So i took my graphics card back and traded it in for a new motherboard. I'm poor. So i' am buying a new peice for my computer every paycheck I get. I will be updating this every time i get a new peice. Anyway if anyone has suggestion peices for me or finds a really great deal online i would be happy to hear. Any money saved or relative advice is always welcome.
