I'm trying to put together a computer for gaming and work. I play World of Tanks and World of Warplanes, at 30-70 FPS - minimum/lowest settings. I'd like to get a set-up that would allow me to play those games on high (doesn't have to be the highest) settings and retain the 30-70 FPS rate.
My current set-up:
CPU: DualCore Intel Pentium E5800, 3,2MHz
MB: MSI G41M-P28 (MS-7592) (Intel Eaglelake G41)
GPU: ATI Radeon HD5750 (1GB)
HDD: 1x WDC WD5000AAKS-00YGA0 (500GB, 7200 RPM, SATA II)
1X WDC WD6400AARS-00Y5B1 (640GB, SATA II)
RAM: 2GB kingston DDR3
PSU: 420W
1) is it sensible/cost-effective to upgrade the existing set up? With what?
if not, then:
2) I have roughly 500€ to spend on the components. Of that I'll spend around 130€ for a Zotac AMP GTX 670 2GB DDR5 GPU. I'll reuse the HDDs, and maybe spend 66€ for Kingston 2,5" SSD disk 120GB, SATAIII.
That leaves me with 300€ for an MB, RAM and a CPU.
I like the I5/I7 line, but I'd buy AMD if I get better performance for less money.
I think I'm forgeting something, but I can't remember what...
