Hey guys. I just got my Acer GD235HZ so I can start setting up 3D vision. I haven't tested it yet, but I'm pretty certain that I'll need an upgrade from my current setup to be able to run games and Blu-Ray 3D at any decent frame rates. Here's my system as is:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ (overclocked to 2.4ghz)
Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT (Overclocked to 675 mhz. Running fine)
2GB DDR (!) memory at 400mhz
WD Caviar black HDD
Asus A8N5X Mobo
Windows 7
So my question is, should I...
a) upgrade the CPU and memory (Which means a new mobo and all that jazz) and buy a 50 dollar 8800 GT to use SLI with
b) Get a more powerful GPU like the GTX 260 or the new GTX 460
I'm working with limited funds and cannot do both. I'm looking at spending atleast 100 dollars more on the option A, so I'm not sure anymore if thats the path I should take unless it provided a huge increase in performance. Opinions?
PS- I figured this would be the best place for my post. Its basically a brand new computer we're talking about.
