I jsut bought a Geforce GTX 260 graphics card and found out it was being bottlenecked by the rest of my system so im upgrading
current setup: HP pavilion media center
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.66Ghz (physically missing ONE transistor but seems to be working fine lol)
2gb DDr 2 (SLOWEST KIND)
320gb harddrive
550W power supply
Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 896mb overclocked to 700mhz
UPGRADE:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33 GHz
4GB DDR 2 OCZ REAPER ram
New SLI ATX motherboard instead of Hp's Micro AtX which dosent allow overclocking
New MID ATX gaming case (RAIDMAX SAGITTA)
=730 bucks
Is this worth it?
im getting 19fps in games like Crysis when i know the GTX 260 is capable of doing 35 so my CPU and Ram are bottlenecking
The only things im probly not replacing are like the powersupply, graphics card, DVD ROM Drive and the 320gb harddrive
