new video card? Or whole new computer?
Well... before I start I'm going to give my current gaming computer's specs...
3.0 ghz P4 processor 800fsb
xfx nvidia 6600gt (agp)
1 gig dual channel ram pc3200
120 GB HDD ata/100
As you can see, this computer is no slouch... but I'v saved up enough money to make some upgrades... First upgrade that comes to mind is to upgrade the video card from the 6600gt to the nvidia 6800 ultra... best video card for AGP... I know it's discontinued, but I'm sure I could find it somewhere... The second upgrade that comes to mind is upgrading the HDD to SATA and using the existing one for slave or something...
Now my problem is, I can't figure out whether to make those upgrades, or wait and save up for a whole new computer... dual core processor with bigger fsb, PCIE with SLI ... RAID 0 with 2 nice SATA's doesn't sound to shabby either... Now I know waiting to save up for a whole new computer is probably the best choice, especially for future upgradablitiy... But that would take a looong time to save up that money... besides, the upgrade to a 6800 ultra and a SATA drive on my existing gaming machine would still make my gaming rig a powerhouse... and I could have it NOW...
I don't know what to do!! ...
