Upgrading My PC* | EDIT: Building PC - Help with parts.

I dont want to spend anything over $150 on a GFX Card for now, unless I downgrade others. Show me?

Most decent graphic cards are usually over $150

I know, could you help me downgrade other parts? Or answer the question I asked before.

GFX Card ($137.50): http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod...s_id=35796

I was trying to bring down the price to $700 or lower by downgrading the motherboard but it came to $724 when I only downgraded the motherboard.

When I downgraded the GFX card it came to $638.60, the card is ok, will be able to play san andreas on all the high settings but I definatly know that it wont be able to play the newest games on highest settings.

The HD 4830 would definitely be better than a 9600 GSO.

I still say go lower on the CPU to a E5300 and up the graphics card to a HD 4850, but its your choice.

Over all the arguing, im looking for the cheapest, but still good.

If AMD's are a little less better than Intels but alot cheaper i would buy AMD.

Then probably you wont be able to run GTA IV at pretty decent graphics.

Please tell me reasons that 9600 GSO is bad, because I still think it is good. Probably is a lot better than hd 4830.

4830 is better than the 9600GSO

Correct, the HD 4830 is on the same level as the GeForce 9800GT, but often 5-10$ cheaper.
