| 778793 | 2009-06-01 07:21:00 | My pc is 2 years old now and it struggles to play games like cod4. I am looking at a new video card but there is probably more i have to do,i don't want to upgrade everything,just enough to play decent games. Budget of around $500.cheers. AMD Athlon64 processor 3500+ 2.20 Ghz,1.00GB of RAM Nvidia geforce 7600gs ms-7260 (motherboard) Windows xp home sp3 I hope thats enough info. |

| 778794 | 2009-06-01 07:27:00 | CPU is average, but it's not that important. Graphics is everything in gaming. Buy the highest spec card you can afford. For instance: 7366 HIS ATI HD4890 1GB PCI-E $489.00 Computer Lounge And add another 1GB RAM - thats cheap. |

| 778795 | 2009-06-01 07:30:00 | So just go for a video card? | sk69ersnz (13476) | ||
| 778796 | 2009-06-01 07:56:00 | Who would be better installing it? PB Technologies or PC Gear.I live in Dunedin. |

| 778797 | 2009-06-01 08:11:00 | PB Tech is OK I guess. But installing it yourself will be simple. Take off side of case, remove card, insert new card. Budget of $500? Go for the 4870, or 2 x 4770 if your mobo supports 2 x PCIE Blam |
