My PC.

g4m3rof1337 · 11-15-2007, 04:39 AM

I was thinking of upgrading my computer in the near future.

I'd upgrade the Processor, Graphic Card, Power Supply, and Ram. And maybe a new Monitor.

I was thinking a Quad Core Processor, 8800GT, 720w+, and 2gb of Ram.

For a monitor, I was thinking of 20in wide screen.

So, how much would we be talking?

Thanks.

Like 900. You pretty much named all the innards of a computer, sans a mobo and optical drive.

yeah that's pretty much a new pc really.

a 700W would be fine. that run about 130$, depends which quad core.

using the least expensive brands/models of everything described above, on newegg you are looking at over $1,000

g4m3rof1337 · 11-15-2007, 07:51 AM

OK. I know I am looking at a lot of money, but wont it future proof it for awhile?

And cant I just get a combo to lower the total a little bit, like CPU/GPU or something.

Thanks.

atleast wait until late january on the new 45nm intels. Im thinking about getting either a Q9450 or E8400 instead of sli 8800gt's

$1000

Quad Core Processor >$280
8800GT >$260
720w+ >$150
2gb of Ram >$50
LCD >$200

Wait a few months, then you could get 45nm Yorkfield/Penryn

$500 (seriously... $500 -> Q6600 G0. OCZ GameXstream 700w <70+ A> and 4GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800)

^ No monitor that is.
