I've got £600 to spend (possibly £700 at the VERY limit)
My current PC is
[email protected] ish
2GB Geil Value
DFI Ultra mobo
7800GT
I was thinking of upgrading the mentioned parts above to fit around a 8800GTS to give me DX10, Vista and be ready for DX10 games.
However, I was thinking that my current setup could last me another 12 months till next March and upgrade then (I do this every year just before financial end of year). I can wait for DX10 games and really only play Daw of War and Company of Heroes.
So, as I want a small HTPC in the bedroom for net access, tv, dvd etc I could probably build a basic HTPC with the money instead.
Do you guys reckon my current setup will be adequate for another 12 months? I know that the parts above would probably net me a couple of hundred 2nd hand but not enough to do both.
