Hey.
I wanted to upgrade mt gateway GT5228 to be a somewhat of a gaming pc. As of now it has the on board crappy 6100 graphics, 2gb 533 MHz DDr2 ram, and Athlon X2 4200+ 2.2Ghz (running @ 2.6 with ntune overclock utility). I already did some external mods such as add a window and added internal lights and fans to up the cooling somewhat.
so what i wanted to do was get 4gb ocz 800MHz ram, an althalon 6000+ 3.1 GHz or 5400 Black edition 2.8Ghz , new 500w psu, and a Diamond HD 4850 which seems to the best single slot card out there (i'm open to suggestions on other vid cards it just has to be single slot)
as for games i'm trying to play are NFS pro st, COD 4-5, crysis, far cry 2
what do you guys think? suggestions? is it worth it?
