Hi everyone, I don't know where I've been all this time but I just came across these forums and I'm pretty impressed. After 2 days of installing Age of Conan today only to realize I can achieve 7 FPS I came to the conclusion that my computer is getting a bit old for my gaming habits. I've finally put together some money for some much needed upgrades, however, I really don't know where to start. My list of things to get is as follows, Mobo, Graphics Card, Processor, Vista, 4 gigs DDR2, and maybe a HDD. I am so overwhelmed right now and I could really use your help; if you all have any input it would be greatly appreciated. I put together a very informal list:
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148136
MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128333
GRAPHICS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500041
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211188
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103211
VISTA: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116204
I honestly do not have much of an idea of what prices/brands are good but I do know that I want a graphics card capable of playing everything available now with high quality (except for crysis, i don't even know if NASA can run that game). I would like to keep this under 600 bucks, but the cheaper the better, after all I'm a college student. Thanks in advance!
