I'm upgrading from:
Athlon 3000+ XP
1 gig (512x2) Kingston PC3200
GeForce 6600 GT 128 AGP
160 GB Western Digital 7200 RPM
1 dvd rom, 1 dvd writer
550 watt PSU
Basically what I want to do is replace just the mobo/cpu right now, use the onboard video for a short while, and once Christmas arrives I'll get the best video card I possibly can (at least a 7900gs). This is what I have picked out:
BIOSTAR TForce6100 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813138264
Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego core - http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustratingRe...N82E16819103622
The total for just the hardware comes out to $159.98. I play DoD: Source and many of the other Source games, Battlefield 2, but am looking forward to future titles. If I go by what I've said, should I be okay on upgrades for a at least a year?
