Hello!

I am looking to upgrade my PC, hopefully, if possible, just the graphics card.

After talking to a few people I was told that this would be a waste of time, since my processor is out-dated, and since I want to keep this on a low budget.

I was looking at getting a http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-038-KF originally, but as I say, I was advised against it since the processor so outdated.

My current processor is a AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-core 2.5GHz.

The idealistic option would be to get a optimum performance on my current PC without having to get a new processor, (I would really like it to last a further 7-8 years, I don't mind playing games at lowest graphics [I have done with BF3 for a while!])

It would be muchly appreciate if you could give me a hand!

Cheers.
 
I assume VGA means graphics card? :P

If it does, a Nvidia 9800 GTX - It's pretty old in itself, but my old mans graphics card just blew up, and i've been waiting for an excuse to upgrade, so I'll give him this and upgrade.

Thanks for the speedy response!

EDIT:-

Wanted to get Farcry 3 anyway ;)
