So i'm feeling the burn with my 8 year old gaming rig.. got no chance of running any new major releases and even existing titles that are getting updated with new content and are struggling / are unplayable (i'm guessing it's a lack of RAM).
OS: Vista 64
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
GPU: Nvidia GTX 280 - 1GB (running Approx. Total Memory 3816mb)
RAM: 6GB (3 x 2 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM)
MB: ASUS P5N-D Mainboard - Nvidia nForce 750i SLI - Intel Core™ 2 Duo/ Quad/ Extreme - ATX
Sound card: Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer
Not sure what case I have, it looks like a small coolermaster but there's nothing to identify it.. just the 1 hard drive (1tb)
So should I upgrade or replace? What cost can i be expecting for a rig that can run the new releases, either last a while or will be able to upgrade when it needs it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
