Atm i have:
p4 2.8ghz
gigabyte ga-8ihxp
512mb rdram
ati 9800 pro
sound blaster audigy pro
2 80gb maxtor drives
430w antec psu
I am having all sorts of problems with newer games. In WOW and EQ2 i have horrible hang ups. Usually in a more populated areas, and more graphic intense areas, my computer will lock up for a good 10secs before moving again. This is with everything on the lowest settings, no af, and no aa. I've had this computer for more than a few years so i thought it would be a good idea to upgrade.
I would like to keep any of the hardware that will work well with graphically intense games, but want to upgrade anything that wont. What do you guys think i should upgrade, and with what hardware? I wont be doing any overclocking or benchmarking so im just looking for the hardware that will run WOW and newer games smoothly while still looking good. Thanks a lot for the help.
