Basically I need a new PC right now but money is tight at least for this month or two as the one i've got 4 years old is dying, BSOD's etc
I've currently got the PSU and Case and was originally looking at a GTX285 or 295 but i simply cant afford it hence i was thinking of a XFX Radeon HD 4350 512MB PCI-E graphics card as a temporary solution.
My idea for a build is an I7 920, 6GB DDR3 RAM, Asus p6T Deluxe V2 is it worth purchasing a cheap graphics card or is it going to simply create a bottleneck?
For the time being empire total war is probably the only newish game and maybe crysis other than that It'll be used for a lot of VMWare images and general use that requires a lot of processor but not much GPU
Oh and any issues with XP Pro SP3 and I7's or should i go with vista business?
