Hey, I'm just in the process of upgrading my computer and I was wondering if any of u nice people could give me a bit of advice about the wisdom of my hardware choices. :P
I've got round about £400 to spend on mboard, ram, cpu, graphics card and I'm basically trying to get the best gaming computer i can for that,
I'm not sure if I've balanced things up properly in my initial attempt, basically can someone glance through what i'm thinking of and check if I'm stupidly spending money on some parts that are gonna be let down by my other choices, it would be greatly appreciated. :)
What i've thought of so far
Athlon XP 2400 [120]
2x 256Mb of DDR266 ram [75]
Connect3d Radeon 9500pro (128Mb, AGP 8x) [135]
Asus A7N8X Deluxe capable of: 3Gb of dual DDR400, AGP 8x, and has the nforce2 533Mhz FSB, Serial ATA and has loads of other stuff like lots of USB2. Overall I'm not TOO worried about future upgradability since i haven't done much of that with my current computer, but i would like Serial ATA . [120]
Thank you so much!!!! :D :D
