Hi ..I currently own the following system :
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ CPU
Geforce 6600GT GPU
ASUS A8n-VM MOBO
2 GB DDR1 RAM
I feel its slow for new games. Even if i m not a gamer, i do play sometimes and whenever i do i want them to run at accepetable level of details and good FPS.
So i m thinking to get a new PC under $1000. I m an computer engineering student but i m not really into hardware stuff. I asked couple of vendors here (india) but they sounded that they dont have good knowledge of what they were talking.
My requirements :
1. Budget : Around $1000 take or give few $.
2. Games should run at above 40+ fps at high details and 1280x1024.
3. I dont rip dvds but i do watch movies most of the times.
I need both AMD and INTEL configurations but i guess i will go with AMD as i m really pleased the way my last CPU is working. Apart from that i do believe buying AMD will help the race of delivering better cpu to end-users at fairly good prices.
Regards
EnLi
