I have recently got my hands on a Shuttle SN45G, I need this machien to play games for me for 7-8 months, well at least DirectX 9 ones, I intend to get a new system to handle Vista/DX10. The shuttle will then just be my TV/Stereo.

Secs - http://eu.shuttle.com/archive/en/sn45g.htm#sn45gv2

I want to sort of get the best Bang for Buck out of it.

Its currently got a Sempron 2800+, 512MB DDR400, PCI Geforce MX Gfx Card.

I am gettin a PCI Freeview TV Card for it but need to update the Graphics Card & CPU (Got memory coming).

I was thinking a good upgrade would be an Athlon XP 3000-3200 and an x800, would this be a good idea or will there be a bottleneck?

Thanks

Matt
 
Thanks for the reply, that shows the x1950 pro, i was looking at a x800 cause i dont want to be spending over a 100 on a agp card. Could get a cheap x800 second hand hopefully.

Also I have to think about power as only having the stand shuttle PSU.

I want to get the best bang for buck, so I dont want to have to buy an extra power supply as this system will only be my TV and Stereo in like 8 months time.

i have been told on some other forums that it would be ok to keep my 2800 sempron and the PSU will handle a x800.
