So I'm upgrading my computer...
Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2006 2:28 pmYeah, it's me again, asking for more recommendations. I really hate having to ask for help on everything, but I'm just a total tool when it comes to computers, and I'd rather let people who know what they're doing guide me through this.
Right then. Like the title says, I'm planning to upgrade my new system. When I got it, it totally solved my space and RAM problems, but now I need to take the next step.
I recieved great recommendations on graphics cards, and I've decided to splurge a bit and go for a BFG GeForce 7800GS (as I'm still rockin' AGP). But, before I go shopping, I'm wondering if there's anything else I should add to my list. My specs are as follows:
Dell Dimension 4600
-2GB of RAM
-NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 (soon to be replaced)
-Pentium 4 (2.80GHz)
Everything else is pretty much stock.
I'm shooting for a computer that will run FS at maxed (or close to maxed) settings and still attain a liveable FPS, and also run other demanding games at decent settings/performance. I'll appreciate any and all recommendations. Also, if any more information about my rig is needed, feel free to ask.
