Hi, I've recently bought a new pc, and while I find it absolutely brilliant, what I generally do with computers is keep adding to them, until I feel I've exhausted all upgrade options.
At the moment my system is
4400+ dualcore amd
Asus a8n-sli premium motherboard
2x 1GB sticks of Adata ddr400 ram
Audigy 2 zs soundcard (taken out of old machine)
7900GT albatron graphics card 256MB ram
24" widescreen lcd dell monitor with native res of 1920x1200
Okay, so my options are, at least in this upgrade
Either another 7900gt - I've read that SLI truely benefits from large resolutions, which is pretty much what I've got now or some new ram - Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2 for example.
Graphics cards I'm hesitant on, because next year dx10 is out, and all that next gen stuff, so I feel I would be wasting my money. Faster ram maybe? I don't know heh.
End of year I'll be adding 4 500GB seagate hdd's to it, in a raid 5 array, but that's awhile off. Also going to add a new soundcard very soon (probably a m-audio delta 1010lt).
The reason for this upgrade is mainly because I want better performance in games like oblivion. I get a bit of jerkiness in oblivion at 1920x1200, without everything maxed..of course the game will improve with patches and such, but yeah.
The other option of course is I don't spend the cash, put it away, then keep adding to it every now and then for something completely different.
Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
