Hi everyone,
I'm currently seeking some advice in order to upgrade my current system which is around 2 years old. I mainly use it for gaming, and I prefer to be able to have the settings of the games up high, if not maximum, and have it all running smoothly.
My current specs are:
Core 2 Duo E6600
Gigabyte 965P-DS31S3
Silverstone 850W powersupply
4 gig G.Skill ram, DDR2 800
Gainward 8800GTX pci-e 768mb
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Soon, within the next month.
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, currently playing EQ2 and Sims 3
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: I'm open to any suggestions
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: I'm in Australia, no preference.
PARTS PREFERENCES: No specific preferences at the moment.
OVERCLOCKING: I'm not technically minded so wouldn't be overclocking the stuff myself.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Current maximum is 1650x1050 on my viewsonic.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I don't have a specific budget in mind, but preferably wouldn't like to spend over $1000 for total.
Any recommendations greatly appreciated as I have limited knowledge in this area. Thanks
