New Hardware upgrade for 2009 ;)

[AvanTech6]

My RIG :

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.2Ghz OC to 2.42Ghz
2GB RAM
Nvidia 8600GT 256MB V-RAM

what should I upgrade to be capable to run Crysis High Settings, Fallout Maxed out, etc?

I was thinking of upgrading the 8600GT to this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814127381 <-- The Most Powerful Card I can afford right now.

So my new rig would be :

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.2Ghz OC to 2.42Ghz
2GB RAM
MSI Nvidia 9800GT 512MB V-RAM

A 9800GT would definitely be a fantastic upgrade over your old 8600GT. Probably around 3-4 times faster than that crippled card.

4830 is a good alternative as well for same price.
