Currently, I am having some issues with my DIY build (built 2008 or 2009) using 3d rendering programs (such as Blender) and games like The Sims 3 and some mmos running slowly. Blender and The Sims 3 run the slowest with long wait times. I can run Skyrim and Kingdoms of Amalur smoothly on high-mid settings most of the time, except that Skyrim tends to have longer loading times and small freezes (especially when tabbing to other windows).
I would like to be prepared for upcoming releases and to be able to work with 3D renders and graphics programs easily.
The question is, can I upgrade what I have (and with what?) or should I start from scratch?
Thank you in advance for any help given.
My current specs:
Dual monitor - 1680x1050 and 1280x1024 resolutions
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
System Model: P35-DS3R
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM DDR 2 G Skill
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512
Case: Antec p180
Hard drive: WDC WD7500AAKS-0RBA0 ATA
I will definitely be upgrading my hard drive, as it has run out of space.
