Hi,

I've got a friend with a AMD 3000+ socket 939 CPU / Asus A8V-E Deluxe mobo with 2x512mb Value DDR ram and a Nvidia 6600GT 3D card. He's going to buy a 19" Viewsonic VX922 LCD monitor and he really wants to be able to play the newest games with all the eyecandy on at 1280x1024.

Is it a viable option just to upgrade the 3D card to a used 7800GT or 7900GS or even a 7950gtx?
Will the CPU bottleneck him?

please let me know what you think
thank you
 
A 7900GT would do him well. Also, you could do a little overclocking to speed up his system.
