Hey guys,
I'm thinking about upgrading and would appreciate some advice.
Here is my current rig:
- Asus 8800GTS 320MB @ 648 / 985
- Opteron 144 @ 2.7ghz
- Asus A8N-E motherboard
- 2GB DDR1 400
- 250GB WD HDD
- Dell 2405FWP 24" monitor (1920x1200)
The 4300 is $140 at a local shop, and I think I can get an ok motherboard for under $100. Memory is so cheap now that I think I can get 2GB worth for $150 or so. In total I would spend $400. Is it worth it? Will I notice a huge difference over my current CPU, in games especially? Really my rig is mainly for gaming at this point. Thanks!
