I have a very old custom built computer with the following specs (pasted below from the original order confirmation):
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7 920 Processor (4x 2.66GHz/8MB L3 Cache)
Motherboard: Asus P6T SE -- Intel X58 Chipset CrossFire Supported w/7.1 Sound, Triple-Channel DDR3, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, Triple PCI-E MB
Memory: 6 GB [2 GB X3] DDR3-1333 Triple Memory Module - Corsair Value or Major Brand
Video Card ATI Radeon HD 5850 - 1GB - Single Card
Power supply is 650W.
I assume that the best bang for my buck would be upgrading the video card? Or maybe finding a cheap, identical 5850 to use in parallel? I really just want to spend a few hundred dollars max to make this system just good enough to last until summer (I will be done with my MBA then and will have more money to buy a proper new system that I won't have time to use). I really just want to be able to play Total War: Warhammer at more than 10 FPS.
I do not want to go through the hassle or expense of changing motherboards.
