Hey All!
So, i'm new to this forum, and have a couple of questions for the officionado's here regarding how to upgrade my PC, and what i should upgrade it with.. so here's what i'm working with at the moment:
HP Desktop
HP vs19 Monitor
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit
LiteOn 300w PSU
Corsair 500gb HDD
3GB OEM DDR2 Memory
nVidia GeForce 8800GS
AsusTeK Model 2A73h Motherboard - http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/pegatron-corporation-2a73h-motherboard-specs/
Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 @ 2.4GHz
What i'm looking to get out of this, is a PC that'll basically run Diablo 3 on high settings, and generally play YouTube videos at 1080p, just generally keep up with good games of the current generation (I'm not looking to play Crysis 3 or Battlefield 3 on this machine, i have a PS3 for that task).
Currently my system will only run my Diablo 3 Starter Edition on High Graphics and low/medium/off on everything else smoothly, otherwise i get a lot of stutters in the gameplay.
So as a benchmark, let's say that i have roughly £50 to spend to upgrade this machine, what would your recommendations be? I've seen on the link up there i can upgrade to a Core 2 Quad CPU, but i know that my GPU is very low on memory compared to what's out there, and i HAVE looked at the nVidia GeForce 9800GX2 (1gb) GPU as an upgrade from what i'm using.
Ideas anyone?
