Hi there, I am currently running an older rig and I'm far from a gamer nor want or expect wonderful graphics as I won't get my monies worth in the long run but would like to play less demanding games now and then.
I have a few questions to do with my rig and upgrades but I'm not the smartest when it comes to computers so please bare with me.
MY SYSTEM SET UP IS:
INTEL PENTIUM Q6600 CORE 2 QUAD 2.4GHZ
ASUS P5ND MOTHERBOARD
8GB DDR3 RAM AT 1033MHZ
NVIDIA GEFORCE 260 GTX SUPER OVERCLOCKED
ARCTIC PRO 950W MODULAR PSU
1TB WESTERN DIGITAL HARDDRIVE
I'm wanting to upgrade my GPU but not too sure on what too
My motherboard has SLI but I don't how another GPU at the same size could squeeze in there,
Could 2 smaller Gpu's atually run better than 1 with my lower speed processor?
My monitor is only 720p
Also my budget is between £50-£100
The reason why I'm upgrading the graphics is because after researching for a long time I couldn't find out why my the graphics card keeps cutting out for 3 seconds ( black screen ) then returning back to normal. Also an upgrade on this machine wouldn't go a miss.
Thanks for your time
Danny
