So, my specs are in my sig. I can't play Dead Space, the processor is holding the system back wicked bad. I don't have a problem playing Crysis on 1024x768 medium/1280x1024 low settings, but it seems I need to upgrade to enjoy the newer games.
So I put this together, please give me suggestions regarding whatever you please:
Once You Know, You Newegg
The computer in my profile is the first one I ever built, back in 2006, and it has served me faithfully since it's humble beginnings with a nvidia 6600gt . I have never used windows vista or 7, and I have never set up a SSD before. So this is going to be all new to me.
I would keep the thermaltake armor, but being in my house since 2006 has thoroughly damaged it. The power supply is skipping out randomly as well, so I only have until this Friday to start ordering parts. Already backed my stuff up.
As I get more $$ I will be buying more of that same memory stick to flesh out the rest of the board. I am thinking a GTX 570? Then another in late April/early May.
