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.
 
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
 
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

Click to expand...

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

^ No monitor that is.
 
I am thinking of just upgrading my Ram, overclocking my CPU and maybe my GPU.

I want to be able to max out BF2/BF2142 and other DX9 games, and maybe Crysis, with the DX9 setting.


Thanks.
 
I may be wrong, but with your current system you are already good for at least a year if all you play is DX9 games... The only thing which could and should be improve IMHO is the RAM, but besides that I don't understand why you wanted a quad core.

So, I figure it would be best for you stick to what you have, maybe add a gig or 2(if you want to reuse it in a future build, but then again it might not be adviseable... still unsure of what I'd do in your case tho)... Then of course you can get yourself a nice monitor a 22 or a 24 inches which you will definitively keep for your next system.

But one thing is sure, by then you'd actually give it a bit of time for some considerably more powerful CPU to come out, for some GFX that will be significantly better than yours.
 
Alright.
I've figured it out.

I am going to buy a C2Q, 8800GT, 2gb+ Ram, and a new PSU.



My motherboard supports C2Q.
 
Yeah.

I figure that will keep me good for awhile.

I thought about getting a C2Q with an SLI motherboard, then getting two 8800GT's, but I'll make that a later upgrade.


With what I am getting, will it max all games out? Like Crysis? And future ones.




Thanks.
