| disolitude said: I was going to buy a new gaming PC amongst other things but my christmas shopping and presents went way over the limit so I'm looking to cut back. I was thinking and I figured the PC I have now isn't too bad and could be used as a pretty good gaming pc that can run the current games at mid video setting. I will buy a new video card and some more ram but I was wondering if I can get some opinions if this is worth using as a gaming PC for now or if I should just wait till I have the money.
CPU - AMD Athlon x2 4400+ RAM - Will upgrade and eventually have 3 GB PC5300 667 MHZ Video - Will buy Nvidia 9800GT or ATI 4870, havent decided yet. Mobo - middle of the road Asus with 2000 system bus Does anyone have similar specs? can you run Crysis? :) |
this PC could somewhat run crysis but cant run Left4Dead....
Do this, screw the expensive as hell video card. 200+ for a GPU... not if your aiming for a balanced PC.
CPU - Athlon 7750
CPU Heatsink - Zalmon 110mm or if that wont fit Zalmon 92mm
GPU - 9600GT
Mobo - Gigabyte Mobo
RAM - 2GB DDR2 1066 + 1GB
there now you will be able to run things well
