Here's my set up that I've had since July of '06:
AM2 X2 4000+ CPU
ASUS M2N32-SLI Mobo
250GB Maxtor SATA Hard Drive
2 GBs of Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 RAM
MSI 7600GT 256MB
Sound Blaster X-Fi
580 Watt SLI PSU
Gateway 21" Widescreen LCD @ 1680x1050
I want to know what to do next, I know I need something (I play MMOs and FPS and can tell I need to upgrade). My budget is around $250 for now. For now, should I buy another 2 Gigs of RAM, or a new video card. I was thinking of getting a 7950 like this one: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=322836
Down the road, like later this year, I probably going to get a new 1080p TV for my living room and run a DVI cable and wireless keyboard and mouse to play games in there. Would a 7950 give me at least 2 years of usability @ 1920 x 1080? Thanks in advance.
