My motherboard died recently, and since I had 2GB (DDR) ram laying around I decided to upgrade my NF4 and A643000+(single core) to an RadeonXpress3200 chipset and an Opty 165.
I currently have a 7600GT 256mb PCI-E and was wondering if upgrading the video card is worth it. More importantly, should I go with an ATI card given the chipset, or will my 7600GT be okay (obviously as a solo card)? Additionally, I know I need ATI to do Crossfire on that chipset, so what would be a good card that is $200 or less that would be significantly better than my 7600GT (if there is one at that price)? I don't plan on dual cards at this time.
Also, I am a casual gamer. Play only HL2 based games, CoD2, and will maybe buy BF2142 (or whatever the name is).
THanks in advance.
