Hi Guys,
Thought it was about time i updated my gaming rig, not that i get much chance to play anything these days.
Here is what i have -
Case - Antec 900
PSU - Coolermaster 650
M/B - ASUS P5N32-SLI PREMIUM
CPU - Q6600 2.4
GPU - 8800GTX
RAM - 2gig DDR2 PC2-6400 (399mhz)
I have an extremely limited budget and so can't afford to upgrade everything in one go, therefore i thought i'd start with the graphics card. My question is will replacing the 8800GTX with something like an HD4890 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-101-PC&tool=3 give me a significant boost in gaming performance over what i have? for overall visuals and framerates.
I'll then probably upgrade the RAM to something better than the old cheap generic stuff i have, so any suggestions on an upgrade for the RAM would be highly appreciated. I'll be looking for 4 gig for when i upgrade to vista 64.
Many thanks for any help, it's appreciated.
