Looking to upgrade my rig:
So my rig is:
Manufacturer: INTEL_
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz (2 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
Memory: 3322MB RAM
Hard Drive: 320 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
Monitor: SyncMaster T220/T220G,SyncMaster Magic T220/T220G(Digital)
Sound Card: Headset (2- Creative USB Headset)
Operating System: Windows Vista™ Business (6.0, Build 6002) Service Pack 2 (6002.lh_sp2rtm.090410-1830)
Motherboard: Intel classic motherboard (Intel brand, up to 8gb ram and only 1 pci-e x16, so no sli)
Computer Case: Seems like a midtower, with a rear fan and a side fan.
PSU: OCZ Stealth X Stream 700w
- For me 1680 x 1050 22" screen is big enough, just want to be sure to play almost any game at maximum graphics.
- I use my pc for gaming, internet and word,power point and such.
- Also, in case i buy a mobo that supports sli/3 way sli is it good to buy a 9800 gt or so to dedicate for physx? Also i don't know how to overclock, and if i fail at it, i will not have money to replace damaged item right away.
- I play most recent/upcoming games like Batman Arkham Asylum, RE5.
- Most definitely getting a direct x 11 video card and selling the 260 gtx by November - December.
- If its better to buy a new pc, then i sell this and come some months later with a new build.
Any recommendation would be appreciated.
