ok well heres my current comp:
amd x2 4200+
2gigs pc3200
intergrated sound
250gig 7200rpm hd
dvd-r drive
dvd-rw, cd-rom/rw combo drive thing
300 watt psu
6100 (intergrated) video with 256mb of ram (128 from system ram)

ok, well, i dont know if i should upgrade now to like a x1800xt or a 7900gt, or should i wait like 6 months and get a dx 10 card, or should i upgrade to a low end card and buy a new card when dx 10 card comes out. Also will my comp handle a dx 10 card (getting new psu too)

ps: is my comp pretty good? ( other than psu and video card)?

thx and happy easter to all
 
I would get a 7600gt for now and get dx10 later.

Your rig is GREAT other than your psu and lack of gfx.
 
cool, ya that will fit pretty well in my $300-350 budget, with some room to spare for, games lol :D

even with that POS integrated video crap i can play WoW on almost max settings at 1024x768, but some games man, it blows chunks

got ANOTHER question:

ok so i got this other system that i want to play WoW on (dont ask why):
it is a
p3 863mhz
gonna upgrade my ram from 256 to 768 or 1gig
gonna get a fx5500 or something pci graphics

I just want to run WoW, maybe like 1024 x 768 on lowest settings possible, could i do this?

id get a used x850xt/7800gt and then have $100-150 (depending on your choice) for a psu
 
depends how badly you want to play games. get a $150-200 midrange card if you just want to hold yourself over untill dx10...i wish i did instead of getting a 7800gt.

how much did u spend on the 7800gt?
 
Get a 7600GT or 7900GT or X1800 XT 512mb for now, don't think you will need a DX10 card for at lest 1,5-2 years.

About your WoW computer. Not sure but to me it looks like both the CPU and video card is to slow.
You should probably ask at WoW forum for a better answer.
 
i think youre making a mistake...you could buy a used x850xt for $150 or a used 7800gt for $200...the x850xt performs as fast as the 7900gt in OBLIVION!!!!!!
