Hi all,
In advance, genuine thanks to any rig owners who can spare some basic knowledge to help me out.
I'm about to throw around £120/$160USD at my rig (not including the sale of any component i replace).
I purchased it secondhand 6 months ago.
My objective is FPShooter games on higher settings, retaining around 60fpsecond.
As this is my first rig, and I'm a relative beginner, I'm not clear on what components I might now replace / add to the mix.
Here's what I've got:
E8400 CORE2DUO PROCESSOR 3ghz 6 MB
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD '4870 X2'
MOBO: Asus P5K Premium wifi ap
- DMA/ATA 133 (Ultra) x 1, DMA/ATA 66 (Ultra) x 1, Socket LGA775, ATX, Intel P35 Chipset
Sound card: Creative SB X-Fi ExtremeGamer
Memory: 6GB
(2x2GB) Corsair TwinX XMS2, DDR2
+(2x1GB) Geil Black Dragon 2GB 2x 1GB 800Mhz Dual Channel DDR2
Hard drive: 750GB Samsung HD753LJ
Operating System Version: Windows 7 (64 bit)
If you can advise, I pledge in return to think that you are most excellent.
Thanks.
