Hello!
I am looking for some advice for upgrading my gaming computer. I put mine together a little over 2 years ago. Here is what I currently have:
- MSI G33M-FI LGA 775 Intel G33 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Conroe 2.33GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
- 2GB Corsair Dual Channel
- MSI N9600GT-T2D512 OC GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16
- Microsoft XP
Overall it runs great! However, when playing the larger maps on Supreme Commander Forged Alliance, it starts to choke up mid game. There are some games like this that I would like to be able to play without chokeups or slow-downs, without going broke. So here are some questions:
- Should I just upgrade my graphics card?
- If so, should I get the new GTS/X or go with a 9800GT?
- Should I upgrade anything else?
- If so, any recommendations?
Thanks for your help!
