| 589773 | 2007-09-10 06:59:00 | Hi guys i no you are probably sick of these threads so i am grateful for any advice you can give me. I want to update my graphics card -ram an sound card but am unsure what to purchase i have a asus A8n-VM-UAYGZ motherboard with a NVIDIA 7600Gt an 1gb of ram.What would you recommend to get on a budget cant say what kind of budget yet:o |

| 589774 | 2007-09-10 07:04:00 | Knowing the budget would be a big help, no point in suggesting a graphic card that's close to $1000 if the budget allows $400. Also what do you want to do ? No point in suggesting high end components if all you require is bit more speed etc>:thumbs: |

| 589776 | 2007-09-10 08:09:00 | You can get an Asus 8800GTS for $500. I think you'd suffice with 1GB RAM, but if you need to 1GB RAMs are fairly cheap these days and would cost you up to $100 depending on what kind of RAM your motherboard takes. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||

| 589778 | 2007-09-10 09:32:00 | Core 2 Duo. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 589779 | 2007-09-10 09:38:00 | The Core2 Duo by far. You could get a Quad Core for pretty cheap actually if you wanted/your budget allowed. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 589780 | 2007-09-11 07:09:00 | Check out www.pricespy.co.nz for prices on these items listed below. To play games to the max these cards are really good,starting from cheapest to expensive going by pricespy prices. Geforce 8800 GTS, 320MB, PCI Express Geforce 8800 GTS, 640MB, PCI Express ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT 512MB, PCI Express ram: 2gb for gaming helps heaps for load times,faster gaming-no slow downs,glitch's etc.,faster pc in general day to day tasks as well. sound card: These sound cards are made by Creative and are very good for gaming,movies,music. Starting from the cheapest card I would buy to the most expensive card. X-Fi Xtream Music Sound Card. This sound card below can be found with two different names but it is the same card! X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series Sound Card/ Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS. In order of things I would buy: 1. Graphics card 2. Ram 3. Sound Card If it was me I would get the 8800GTS 640mb graphic card first,play on that etc.,save up get another 1 gig of ram so I would have 2 gigs of ram,and get the X-Fi XtreamGamer Fatal1ty Pro/FPS Series sound card.:D :thumbs: The reason I would get the 8800GTS 640mb card is if you got a bigger lcd now/later,for higher resolution gaming,and for graphic intense games now or in the future. Or if you could not wait a bit then the 8800GTS 320mb,Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtream Music sound card and 1 more gig of ram. :thumbs: Hope this helps. :2cents: |
