    Hey guys, i got about £100 to spend and wondered what the best thing would be to get. I have:


    Intel® Pentium® D CPU 3.00GHz (2CPU's)
    NVIDEA 7300 GS Graphics Card
    2gigs Ram

    MY systems relativly new but ive heard that my graphics card isnt too great so im expecting thats the main thing id be changing, if there more that needs to be known then just ask. Mainly i wonna use if for gaming on games like LOTRO etc.

    I dont really mind waiting a few months for something alot better or paying more if its something really good.

    Look forward to replies ;)

    yeah I would suggest upgrading the 7300. also what processor you got, 3Ghz doesn't really tell us anything

    Upgarde your gfx card definately, Most people will say your CPU needs upgrading but most games still only need 2.0-3.0ghz, I use a P4 3.0ghz and its fine. Dual core is creeping in with Vista only games but will be a while before they are Dual core only

    Your pants eh?
    your upgrading? 100 euros/pounds is like what? 200$?
    I would reccomend a geforce 8 series then
    8600 is 147 USD off of newegg.
    You might need a new power supply depending on what you have currently.

    Well if you buy a new gfx card then it might need a new power supply, The 8800 needs 550w minimum i think with 650w recommeneded. You might already have that but theres a good chance its 350-450w
