Well, at the end of the summer I'm gonna have some money, so I decided to upgrade my computer. I'm gonna recycle a lot from my old one, so I figure I just need this to make it a decent gaming computer: Processor: AMD Anthlon 3700+ Motherboard: ASUS A8N-E Video Card: EVGA E-GEFORCE 6600GT RAM: Corsair Value 1GB 2X512MB Case: Xion XION-BK How long will this computer last me? Can it play some of the newer games such as CS:S, Guild Wars etc. And since I'm on a tight budget, is there anything I can do to save some money? Right now all that will cost $800 Canadian with tax. I thought about getting a different case ( that one is $100 ), but it was the only one I could find that had a decent PSU and looked good.
6600GT will be able to handle any game today right now for the extra money ide go with a 6900GT Il point out a good mobo how much is your limit?
don't bother getting a new case, get an opteron 165 with the cost diference. 6600GT is aceptable, though by summer time you might want to get a 7600GT if prices are down. also by summer both conroe and AM2 shall be out. as to how long it will last, probably 1 year if your aim is to play at medium... games get faster all the time.
with slight modification, yes also checkto see as to whether or notthe PSU on the case is standard ATX dell has a tendency to use proprietory hardware
Well, I could really see my PSU clearly, since it's behind my desk and really dusty, but I could see at the top it said HON-KWANG, and near the bottom it said 120v...is that at all helpful?
