Hi,
I built my Gaming PC about 16 mouths ago and I'm looking to upgrade it, as it running a little laggy on some of the newer games, and would like a bit of help to see what I should upgrade.
My PC specs are...
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP35C-DS3R - Link
Processor: Intel core Duo 8500, 3.16GHz, 6MB cache - Link
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 - Link
RAM: OCZ Gold 2X2GB - Link
PSU: CoolerMaster 1000W REAL POWER PRO - Link
OP: Windows XP
What should I upgrade or replace to make it better? I have around £600 to spend plus what ever I can sell the old parts for. I mostly use it for High end gaming, but in some newer games my PC doesn't seem to play well on high setting anymore.
Also the Nvidia Geforce 9800 GX2 is running quite hot, right now just writing this, it is on 74 °C (163 °F), is that an normal temp?
