Hi All
Firstly this is what I started with:
HP a6582I (Less then a Year old)
Windows Vista 32bit
Mother Board - Intel Core (™) 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz
RAM - 1GB DDR 2
Graphics Card - GeForce 9300GE 3D
Hard Drive - 320GB 3G
Power Supply - 320w
Windows Vista 32bit
Monitor - HP 19” 1440x900
I want to learn to upgrade & build my own beast of a games computer, I upgraded to this so far:
Windows 7 - 64bit
RAM - 4 GB DDR2
Samsung Monitor 23” 2048x1152
Now I want to get an awesome Graphics card, I learnt that I have a PCI-Express something so I can use most Cards & I know I would need to upgrade my power to a 650w or more
I was researching the Geforce’s & ATI’s & I believe a Geforce would work better with my Mother Board but I was looking at the ATI’s 5850 HD as it has DX 11 support & Eye Finite which I would love to use in the future.
If my Mother Board prefers Geforces but I get an ATI what is the worse that could happen?
What is the best card that would work with my monitor’s resolution too?
I am getting this Card in preparation to buy S.T.A.L.K.E.R the 3rd game
Thanks guys… & please school & educate me on anything I may be wrong about because I would hate to the buy the wrong thing.
