Hello,
I want to upgrade my PC to better play games, as it is struggling a lot at the moment. I dont want to specify a certain budget , because I would want the best options from a few budget ranges.
My current pc is :
CPU : Intel Celeron D 3.33Ghz @ 4.33Ghz
Mobo : Asus P5L-MX
VGA : Gigabyte OC 8800GT
PSU : Corsair VX550W
RAM : 2GB DDR2 ( not sure of speed )
The way I see it my best option is to upgrade the CPU / Mobo / Ram now and the GPU in the future. I am playing on 1280x1024 and Im pretty sure the CPU is bottlenecking the GPU , thus the new cpu combo will boost fps, even by a low amount.
As I said I would like to continue using my graphics card and also my PSU, as I think its a good one and 550W could handle the future components.
I am looking forward to your opinions, for different cpu/mobo/ram bundles that would last a while, or even another way to go if its the best option.
Thank you
