So I have an oppurtunity to pick up an XFX 7800GT for $50. I'm only 16 and have a VERY tight budget, so I only have a 6600GT right now. I've been really busy and havn't been able to upgrade for quite some time.
I'm wondering if i should take the 7800 for now b/c its so cheap, and can be O'C'd to GTX like speed, or hold out/save a while longer and pick up something better, like a 8600GT or 8800GTS or possibly a 9600. I don't need to play at that high of resolution, as i have only a 17" moniter. I do like to put up the GFX tho...
also, how much of a bottleneck(if any) would my CPU be? P4 3.0GHz Prescott
lemme know what you think
thanks
