Hello i am going to be upgrading a few components on my system, and i have a few questions.
First off i have about $300 to spend and i mainly want a decent video card for Gaming (Company of Heroes, World of Warcraft, Battlefield 2). I was going to wait until the AGP version of the x1950 pro comes out, but i figure i can upgrade to a PCI-ex motherboard for about the same price
My current System:
AMD 64 3400+ Socket 754
ASUS K8N SE Deluxe
2 Gb Corsair XMS 3200
Power Color Radeon 9800XT
2X 120 Gb Harddrives
Audigy 2 ZS
400W Power Supply
System after upgrade:
AMD 64 3400+ Socket 754
MSI K8N Neo3-F Socket 754
2 GB Corsair XMS 3200
Power Color Radeon X1950 pro (PCI-e)
xClio GOODPOWER 500w
I plan on buying a new power supply, motherboard that can support PCI-ex (Still Socket 754), and a Power Color x1950 pro (256mb)
motherboard
Video Card
Power Supply
I am looking for some thoughts on what people think. Would this be a better upgrade than just buying the AGP version of the card? Will this new Setup work?
