Hey guys
My Birthday is coming up, so I was thinking of upgrading my Graphics card. But my cpu is only a E2180 2ghz and people have told me it would just bottleneck a newer graphics card.
Right now I am looking at the E6700 which is 3.20ghz and only like £66 which is affordable for me. I have heard some really good stuff about the E8XXX series, but the cheapest starts off at like double the price, £120, and they go up to like £160
I'm thinking the E6700 is a lot more reasonable price wise, and would probably give me a good boost as it is?
So you guys know what I'm looking to do,I pretty much only use my pc for gaming, I game a lot. Right now I don't play In high resolutions but I would like to eventually play my pc through my HDTV.
Also I should maybe ask this is another thread, but would anyone recommend a graphics card In the range of £150? I will be upgrading from a 8600 GTS
