Specs on my machine:
CPU: AMD phenom 955 black edition (not Oc'ed)
Mobo: ASRock M3A770DE AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Current Video card: Nvidia Geforce 9400 GT
PSU: Antec Earthwatt 750
HDD: meh... not sure sure but it's not too old.... and I still have plenty of room
Price Range: $150 to $175
Purchase Date: would be sometime in the next 3 weeks.... I have the cash now but I'm not in any hurry.
Usage: Mostly WOW..... I know it doesn't have the high end graphic requirements but I'm pissed when I look at buddies screens and my graphics just aren't there.... With
a decent machine I'd possibly like to try out a few other games.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: I'd prefer Newegg because that is what I'm comfortable with and I felt like I ran away with some good deals building my new machine.
Overclocking: Couldn't tell you the first thing about OC'ing a video card : / and don't have much interest for Xfire or SLI.
I've read the last couple days about some good deals on some of the Radeon 5770 and gtx 460's? But I honestly don't know much of the difference between them... I really just want a better video card before the release of cataclysm on Dec 7. I've also read to hold out until the next generation of cards is released because I could snag a better deal on some of the current ones out there? Basically, what card should I get? and should I get it now? I'd appreciate any help anyone could give me....
