I have a dell dimension 8300. I am looking to either build a new pc or upgrade this one for my gaming. The Dell has a p4 2.6 ghz processor, 768 mb ram, and GeForce FX 5200 on 8x AGP. I only have about 600 to spend. Any help would be appreciated
I would suggest making your own, there are a few threads around here about building computers. I also would suggest AMD, rather 64 bit or not, at least 1gig of ram, and 128 video ram.
He can't really build a good comp with 600$ though... Just buy a gig ram, which is about $75 CAD here in downtown. A new video card.. Like a Geforce 6800GT or something better even.. And then save for a new processor.
Im not good with Gfx cards so I will stay away from that.. But..if you upgrade to 1 gig of ram get two sticks of 512..and try something like these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...449#DetailSpecs as for processor, I also say go with a 64bit AMD.. If you decide to get the above memory there are a few combo deals to save u bout 15 extra bucks.. here's two: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...547#DetailSpecs http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...562#DetailSpecs I'm still new to processors but this seems to be pretty good..
