I am trying to find the cheapest and most effective upgrade combo.
My System:
AMD 64 3500+ Venice
1 GB Corsair Value-Pack AMD (512x2 in Dual Channel)
6600GT
Socket 939 MSI Neo NForce 4 Motherboard with PCI-E 16x slot
10k Raptor 75gb Western Digital HD
7.2k 200gb Seagate HD
7.2k 300gb Seagate HD
What I plan on:
- I have bought a Antec Earthwatt 430W for $29.99
- Plan on NOT buying the x1950pro for $130 and waiting for the 8800GT instead
My Questions/Concerns:
- Should I buy 1 more gb of ram for $55? to have a total of 2gb?
- Should I upgrade my CPU for about $65 to a AMD 4200+ Dual Core? I don't plan on AM2 because that would end up costing too much (this will be done in the future).
- Will i see a significant difference in game, in doing either of these AFTER i have the 8800GT up and running?
Reminder: I want to spend as little as possible, while making the most of it. I will being a full upgrade in like...1 year...so this is just to run current games well.
