Hey everyone,
I brought a computer sometime during September last year with the following system specifications;
- Foxconn G31MX
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33GHz
- 4GB RAM
- nVidia 9800GT
- 400w PSU
I've not had any problems with the build since I purchased it, however I've recently started playing computer games more and fear my system specs may not be able to run more 'advanced' games. Preferably I'd like to play the games on their highest settings.
I was thinking of getting an nVidia GTX 280 but wasn't sure whether or not my motherboard could handle the card?
I'm basically just looking for suggestions on how to upgrade my PC. Should I get a new GFX card, if so which one? Should I get a new motherboard, if so which one?
I lack the knowledge to upgrade the system myself as I'd probably end up buying a new GFX card that isn't compatible with the motherboard.
Thanks in advance.
