PC upgrade

[Richard]

You have a S939 AMD board. They discontinued their S939 products over 2 years ago so your basically going to be stuck with building a whole new computer. Even if you do find a S939 X2, its going to cost a lot for that CPU and more RAM to go with it. It wont be worth it since you will be investing in a very dead format. Also, i believe your motherboard does not have any PCI-E, which means it would not be possible to upgrade your video card to anything good. An Intel C2D with a P35 motherboard and DDR2 ram will cost very little, so i would say it would be worth it to build a whole new C2D comp

I don't know any online PC stores in the Netherlands, so if anyone knows of some, please post the links

Thanks.

It indeed is old. My first PC ever bought, I never upgraded a thing.

And the 48GB HD is everything, not partitioned.

Didn't you have "kids"?

Yes, I do. But my birthday is coming up, so I wanted to see what I could get there

@cloakster: What would that cost? To get a bit of a decent one? Got more things to spend my money on now

At least a Core i7 965 processor with at least 8 gigabyte of DDR3-16000 memory. A strong RAID-50 array with eight 64 GB Mtron SSD disks really is required too. Next to that, I'd suggest an nVidia GeForce GTX295 video card, a proper audio card (X-Fi platinum?) and a good surround set, at least a Logitech Z-5500. Finally, two blu-ray readers- and burners for optical media would be convenient.

Estroe, if you want to buy a new pc, you would get a good one for ~500€. Thats a lot, but i wouldnt put money in a hardcore outdated system.

true, and if you want to spend more, you can always get a Predator Crusher (yeah, google that )

That seems alright. I bought this one for 900€ back then
When I bought it, it was good. But that's quite a while ago now

Yeah, 500-600€ would do just fine for a good PC

And that can be yours for only $4000+

estroe, it depends on how long you plan on keeping this comp. If your gonna keep it for 4+ years like you did with your current one, then i would suggest to spend some more money on it. If your gonna upgrade within 2 years, then a good 600-700€ PC will do

If he plans on building it himself.

And I wouldn't go by Peters plan unless you have 1000+ Euros to spend.

Money I don't have
I don't know for how long I will be gaming and all too.

I guess I'll stick to this and play no more but SA-MP and CoD4 or lower-end games.

Thanks for the advices.
