Hello there! I'm new to this forum but decided to ask for some advice since I hear so many different things about what I should do. Here is my info:
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This Sunday. BUDGET RANGE: 100 Euro (137 USD)
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: (Games, but the only important games I want to play are Rakion and Amnesia DD, which requires low specs I think. Other games like Mass Effect 3/GTA 4 and 2011-2012 games would be nice if I could play them. The newest games like COD Ghost aren't a must for me atm. I watch a medium amount of movies and series. My monitor is kind of mediocre, but I will be getting a new one soon.)
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: (Nvidia Geforce 8500GT on an Asus C403HREV:1.03, its in the PCIE_X16 slot. I have a Delta 300W with +12~19A power supply, which is kind of low but not impossible to install a new video card I've heard. I don't have a 6 pin power connector, so 2 pin or motherboard powered would be better for me.)
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: (AMD Phenom X4 9500, M2N68-LA (Narra3) MoBo, 3GB Ram=512MB+512MB+1GB+1GB)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: (e.g. tweakers.net, azerty.nl) COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: (The Hague; The Netherlands)
PARTS PREFERENCES: (The part that fits my needs and my pc's specs)
OVERCLOCKING: No idea, I don't know a lot about pc's. If you mean my processor, it runs at 2GHz out of 3.3GHz.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: (The resolution I'm using is 1280x1024)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: (As I mentioned before, I don't have a 6 pin power supply for the GPU. I also want to mention that I will only use this GPU for up to a year I think, until I can assemble myself a complete new pc, since this one is about 6-7 years old. Sorry If my English isn't perfect, it's not to be rude.)
Thank you very much in advance for the support!
Greetings,
Mark.
