So... i'm currently "gaming"(if you can say so) on a CRAPPY system , but with a decent motherboard.
Therefore
I'm planning on upgrading somewhere in october
I've already decided on the HDD,RAM,PSU and CPU
HDD : Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB, 7200rpm, 16MB, SATA2
RAM : 2 x Kingmax 2GB DDR2-800 PC6400 FBGA Mars
PSU : Deluxe ATX 600W
CPU : AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+, socket AM2, box , 2.7 GhZ
now...i know can't just go with an ATI HD 4650 or an Nvidia GF 9800 GT...as i did bring the "HD 4650 vs 9800 GT" discussion ,along with my other specs(mentioned above) i got ironic answers like : "Also since you're upgrading to 3 year old technology why not get a 1.8GHz single core CPU while you're at it?" ... i found out that i can't get a GPU whilst paying the same ammount of money for it, as i do for the CPU...these days you jsut have to spend a bit more money for the Graphics Processing Unit(DAMN writeing that is so BADASS!!!!):cool::cool::cool:
Now...
I'm looking at a few GPUs, like
Gainward nVidia GeForce GTS 250, Green, 512MB, DDR3, 256bit, SLI, PCI-E,
and
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD4850 512MB GDDR3 256bit, Dual DVI/TVO, HDMI, HDTV, PCI-E
i don't wanna sound needy, just...could you recommend a right one?i have some doubts... i have an AS Rock Alive-NF6P-VSTA with a standard PCIe x16 empansion slot
i'm on a tight budget... so don't go along recommending 300$ GPUs
