I got a new XFX Geforce 275 GTX card as a gift and want to upgrade my system with it but I'm wondering whether it will cause any bottlenecks with my current setup.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4 AM2+ Socket
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2 GHz
PSU: OCZ 600W Modxstream pro power
Memory: 3 Gb DDR2
OS: Windows XP
I'm willing to upgrade my system but only to about 400 total price and only if absolutely necessary. It's a great gift for my gaming habits but I am currently on a budget. Will the card work in my current setup or is an upgrade unavoidable? And what would be the best (and most economical) way of going about that upgrade?
