So, i'll follow the trend and create a "new rig/computer" tread of my own, if you people haven't grew tired of these already
After being on the same system since around 2002 or so, i am going to boldly go where no (or many) men has before, and upgrade.
Since my current machine, which were an awesome beast in the stone ages, now is quite lacking in every imaginable compartment, and i have done all i can of it in terms of optimising and playing with things like oldblivion, now i need to catch up
I did switch from a gf4600Ti to a gf6200 a few weeks before and it opened up the door to pixelshader 2.0 which i lacked, and many games have started to require for many years ago and it opened up my eyes again.
I am on a slight tight budget, but i will do my best, with some pointers i hope, which is the purpose of this thread
I need to change it all, since i lack pci-e and sata currently.
I have figured out a mobo, and a powersource of about 600 watts.
And some pc6400 ddr2 ram, which i hope is ok. I will get 2 gb.
Then comes the alternatives.
I don't care much about chasing pcsx2 performance, and i won't overclock.
But i need power for the modern pc-games atleast
So i am thinking about whether i need to go for a: e8400, 8500 or 8600
And a GF9600GT, 9800GTX+ or GTX260.
I preferably play my games in 1280x1024, and i never use AA or AF since i believe them to be overated.
Any suggestions?
