Hi all, I have an old build which I haven't really used much since Ive had my PS3. But I recently decided I want to switch playing skyrim on my PS3 to the PC instead because I want to experience the wonder of mods.
I currently have an Athlon X2 4600+ running on an Asus M2N Workstation board and an XFX 7900GS 256MB GFX card. (650w coolermaster PSU)
Its an old rig but it does (just) run skyrim at low settings.
I have a basically non-existent budget but I am trying to squeeze for a new Graphics card. I was looking at the HD6850/6870/7770 cards as that is my top reach.
If I get one of these, do you guys think it would improve my experience greatly, or do you think my CPU will make the upgrade pointless?
Remember my lack of budget in replies please.
Thanks in advance.
