Looks like I'll be needing to buy a new PC at somepoint soon. This one's lasted me for 5 years now but the CPU is just too slow for the new batch of games comming out.

Do you know the current specs? What games would you like to be able to play, and at what resolution?

Well I'm currently on a 3800 X2 with 2Gb RAM and Win XP (and I hear some games releasing soon require DX10/11). My GPU is fine (8800GTS) for most games. Normally I'd just upgrade the CPU, get Win7 and upgrade the RAM, but that also means changing the Mboard as I'm still on the old Socket 939. It's lasted well at around 720-ish resolutions for most games, and retaining medium-high settings (except for Metro 2033 which I had to run on low).

I'm finding games are becomming more CPU intense however. Dragon Age was pretty CPU intensive and I had a fair bit of slow-down.

Anyway, I haven't given it much thought, but I don't have much money at the moment so it'd have to be value for money parts. Probably an 4-core AMD CPU and DDR3 board/RAM and reuse the 8800 until I have more money comming in. I'll probably have to re-use the HDD and DVD-drive. You think the PSU will still be stable enough?
