Right-o chaps/chappettes
So ye with BF3 coming out and this computer not being upgraded since Nov 2008, I figured it twas time to upgrade something!
The question is I have no idea what! I have ~£250 to spend (woop) and my spec is pretty much in my sig.
The two options I can think of are:
1. Blow £250 on a nice gfx card (options please
)
2. Upgrade my gfx card (get one for around £160) and also get one of those fancy massive heatsinks as my cpu idles at about 50c and i think under load up to 80c :s I have small RAM sticks I think so I hope the ubersized heat sinks will fit.
Of course I'm a noob at this kinda stuff so if you think there are other bottle necks or things that should be upgraded first let me know.
Many thank yous for your time
