Hello all,
I am trying to figure out a better upgrade to that to increase performance for a new online game , SWTOR, i'm sure some of you have hard of it. I think it is my motherboard/CPU that is really bottlenecking the crap out of performance. I could be very wrong though. I built this computer about 4 or 5 years ago so I'm very aware some of the bigger parts may be way out of date. I have about 300-350 bucks I can spend on it. So I'm trying to get a decent upgrade in something lol. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a list of my computer parts
Mainboard : Asus M2N-E SLI
Chipset : nVidia nForce4
Processor : AMD Athlon X2 BE 2350 @ 2100MHz
Physical Memory : 4096MB
Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+
Hard Disk : Seagate ST3250310AS (250GB)
DVD-Rom Drive : LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1P
Monitor Type : Hewlett Packard HP w2338h - 23 inches
Network Card : Atheros Communications AR5005G 802.11a/b/g Wireless Network Adapter
Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 5.01.2600 Service Pack 3 (32-bit)
DirectX : Version 9.0c (May 2010)
Like I said, any help would be most appreciated but I'm thinking of more of a motherboard/CPU upgrade. At least I hope that would give me the bigger bang if not. Please enlighten me to a better solution! Thanks for the help!
