Need advice

[ciaran3433]

I'm looking for advice on what kind of graphics card i should get.I play games like world of warcraft and battlefield2 and want to play them in decent video quality.I also want a new processor.I've got a budget of about 140 euros ( fairly flexible).

System specs-
1.9GB ram (going to upgrade to 4.9GB) DDR2
Processor-Intel pentium Dual cpu E2140 @ 1.6GHz
Graphics-Intel 82945G Express chipset family

I know my budget is'nt awesome but i dont want a high end quality graphics card just a half decent one to get me by for a few years.Idealy id like a 2.3-2.5Ghz processor.

What's your motherboard? Does it have a PCI-e slot? And what PSU do you use?
You could try this Processor and this Graphics Card which should fall within your budget restrictions. That would be a very noticable upgrade and will run both games fine (I've got a 9800GT and 3.0GHz Dual Core CPU and both games run fine for me). Obviously the best advice would be to get some more cash together for a more "worthwhile" upgrade - it's like finishing 8th in a 10 man race instead of finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd.
