Yes that should suit you fine. A more powerfull graphics card will get you futher than dumping moey into a hella fast CPU. What Kind of budget are you working with though? Tons of people around here love to suggest setups (myself included) if we know what budget you have.
well this pc i'm using now was built a couple of years ago and i'm looking to upgrade just a bit to stay somewhat current. Being able to play far cry @800x600 would be awesome for me.
my current setup:
iwill kk266-raid. KT133a chipset
athlon xp 1500+
768mb SDram
2 (40gb) 7200rpm ide hd
CD-RW
400watt PS.
19" Samsung crt Monitor.
Nvidia Geforce 4200 Ti 64mb.
My budget....as much as i can get... i guess.
i will be reusing the monitor & hard drives so i can save some money.
what should i get?
a socket A mobo & another athlon XP to overclock?
a socket 754 mobo & a sempron?
-----------------------------------------
looking to spend less than $100 for mobo & cpu
A decent video card, some ram, and a power supply and that's it i guess....or could i reuse my 400watt? that would save some money there too.
so i would say around $250-300?
