Hello!
I've cobbled together a PC for my dad as his laptop has died and although essentially will be for browsing / email and some light photochopping he does enjoy some FPS gaming - he has BF2, COD4, COD WAW, COD MW2 etc.
The PC is:
Mobo : Asus P5B
CPU : E6600 (@3.0Ghz)
RAM : 2 GB DDR2 (another 2 incoming from MM)
GPU : Gainward 7800GTX
PSU : OCZ Steathstream 500W
OS : Win7 64 Home Premium
Case : Thermaltake Tsunaml Wave
It's all up and running with the games play OK on
Low / medium settings with sone tweaking, the question is would it it be worth upgrading to a better (second hand / older gen) graphics card to be able to run s bit better settings without being bottlenecked by the CPU?
Not looking to spend more than £20 / £30 but was wondering on people's thoughts on best budget bang for buck in this rig?
Cheers
