Hey..
Sometime during may I will get some money back from last years tax(I paied too much apparently, but I also play almost 60% dammit!!).. Anyway..
I'm tired of my current system, or some of it, and needs an upgrade. I'm planning to spend about 550$(the entire tax, minus one dinner for the gf) on 2 upgrades - 1 new HD and one new Graphics card..
This is my current system:
WinXP Pro
AMD Athlon 1200 Mhz
512 MB RAM
Soltek SL-75 DRV Motherboard
Asus GeForce2 MX 32 MB AGP v7100
SB Live
HD's are so old I can't remember the brand or model number..
Now I'm very much in doubt about the graphics accelerator - it's not a secret that I'm a gamer and I review games on a weekly basis so it's important that I get a card that will be able to run the new games for at least the next 6-12 months..
The HD I want to buy will be IBM DeskStar 120GXP 80GB and that lies around 160$ so that leaves me with 390 $ to buy a graphics accelerator - so my question is, what would you buy if you had my specs??
