Upgrading... Help! - Phyc0 - 07-15-2009
Hey,
I'm thinking about upgrading my PC so I'm prepared for Windows 7 and so I can play high-resolution games which I can't play at the moment...
Here's my current system spec (Don't laugh at it
):CPU
Intel® Pentium® D CPU 2.80GHz
CPU Speed
2.80 GHz
Operating System
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, 32-bit (Build Service Pack 16001)
Video card
NVIDIA GeForce 7500 LE (GeForce 7500 LE), 256 RAM, DirectX Version 10.0
Sound Card
Speakers (Realtek High Definition)
DVD drive
LITE-ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S ATA Device (This doesn't work at all..
)So I guess it's probably a better idea to buy a whole new PC... or?
Greetz,
Phyc0

Probably better off getting a new computer altogether.
Because I would upgrade CPU, Graphics Card, RAM, Motherboard.
Which is basicly the whole computer.

Yep, it'll be worth it to just build a whole new comp.

Don't worry about budget xD
Re: Upgrading... Help! - FarePak - 07-15-2009
One of the new AMD Phenom II's or one of the Intel i7's, personally I would go for AMD but its up to you.
For the graphics card, it kinda depends on budget, if you got a huge budget you can get something like GTX 285/295 or HD 4870x2/4890.

Re: Upgrading... Help! - cloakster - 07-15-2009
I'd go with the Core i7. AMD has to come out with something big before I start recommending them again.
Re: Upgrading... Help! - Phyc0 - 07-15-2009
Thanks for the replies!
I'll take a look that hardware later..
