Hi all,
First time posting on T.H. For the previous 14 years I have been a massive fan of EQ1/EQ2 with the new game coming out in the future I gathered I better look at upgrading my PC.
With a low budget I am looking at upgrading this old thing (4 years to be precise) to be able to run games such as GW2/EQ:Next/Planetside 2. My main aim is to slowly upgrade the PC over the next six months affording parts when I can.
I am looking at preferably running games at a steady FPS (30?) whilst in a large 'zerg'. Looking at advice on what mobo, graphics card etc to buy and anything else that is needed.
DxDiag below: (thanks in advance!) I understand the system is pretty useless for gaming but my current budget is tight after the wife got laid off work!
