atm i have:
p4 2.8ghz
gigabyte ga-8ihxp
512mb rdram
ati 9800 pro
sound blaster audigy
2 80gb maxtor drives
430w antec psu
I mostly play games and with only 512mb of ram i lag durring pvp and when there are a bunch of people around, when i go to cities, etc. To upgrade to 1gb of ram is like $400+ because of my motherboard. So im wanting to change my motherboard and ram. I have the abit ic7-max and corsair 1gb low latency ram picked out which totals $390. Now i probably will not be overclocking much. Are these things needed or can i get cheaper stuff and still play games fine? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
