I was thinking about building a new PC for gaming when I realized that I don't care about Windows Vista & I have a PC that I might would do quite well with a litlle upgrading & tweaking.
I want to run games at 1920x1080 on my 40inch with some AA on.
I would like to run games like Alone In the Dark & Hellgate London at max settings if at all possible.
Here's my specs...
Mobo: ASUS A8N SLI
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.2GHz
Memory: 1536MB RAM
Hard Drive: 119 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA BFG GeForce 7800 GT OC
I'm willing to buy some new components such as CPU, GPU, & RAM.
Is it worth spending more money on this system? What would I need to upgrade? For instance, My mobo supports 400mhz ddr mem but I currently have 333Mhz. Is it worth buying the 400Mhz memory & ditch the 333mhz? What would be the best upgrades for this PC? Could it run the majority of games (after upgrades) like I listed above at max or high settings, with AA & 1920x1080?
Also, I want to stick with XP.
