Is 4850 good enough.

[gasdoctor]

Gonna get myself a 24" monitor, when I've decide which one. (all recommendations accepted).

Currently Im running a 4850 (512Mb) card on a P5Q pro board with an E8400 at stock.

Im gonna clock the CPU but am I gonna need to upgrade the GFX card?

If so whats recommended at the moment, staying below £200.

I mainly game and its mainly ww2ol but Empire Total war is due for release.

Cheers

yeah for those games it should be fine mate

but if you find that it cant cope as well as you want, i would suggest something like this.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp... GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

and this monitor..

get this monitor, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp... SM-2343BW 23" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black its a inch smaller than the above monitor but as higher res and cheaper.

the 4850 is a great card and performances really well. no need to upgrade it tbh. i game at 1920x1200 and all my games runs fine with max settings
