A friend of mine is planning on upgrading his system pretty soon and asked me for advice, so i thought i would ask you guys! It shows below what he is thinking about. The amount it comes to is around about his budget, except he can stretch to a bit extra for a new PSU.
If anyone can make any suggestions to improve it for a similar price please let me know.
At the moment he has an AthlonXP 2400, 9800Pro, 1Gb Samsung 2700. So he will be hoping to see quite a large improvement when playing all the latest games.
