Hello

I was thinking of upgrading my PC....

I need your reccomendation..

My specs are as follows:

P4 3.0 1mb Cache

1gb DDR 333

ASRock P4i65GV

ATi Radeon 9200 128mb

Maxtor 6L160M0 SATA 1.5GB/s (160gb)

Seagate ST380011A IDE (80gb)

Sony DVD-RW

I was thinking of upgrading to:

Core 2 Duo E6420 (2.13GHz 4mb 1066MHz)

2gb DDR2 800

Motherboard dont really know...

Graphics will be internal..

Maxtor 6L160M0 SATA 1.5GB/s (160gb)

250gb Hard Drive SATA 3.0GB/s

Sony DVD-RW

The trade-in for my old one to this new config will cost around $250

So I was thinking if it is a reasonable price to pay for a PC that I will use

for Games, Video Editing (VideoStudio and possibly PremierPro) and

surfing the net

The games I expect to play are Football Manager, PES, FIFA and many of the available RTS games

What are your suggestions?

Graphics will be internal..

Intel and on-chip VGA? Forget about that, it will run way slower then your ATi Radeon 9200. Get your self a older 6600GT or 7600GS or so, they should be cheap now. Do you have any link to the shop you are going to buy your new stuff from?

Yes, I will buy a new graphic card. But first I have to decide if I upgrade or not

My actual PC only supports AGP and the one I'm planning to upgrade to only supports PCI Express.....

The shop doesnt have a link....

Ohh, whats your opinion, would you upgrade if you would do what

I stated above for $250, is it really worth while?

That's not an upgrade. That's a whole NEW pc. An upgrade means you beef up what you have. A little better memory, cpu... yadda yadda.

You're replacing everything. In that case you have more choice.

But if you still want to keep the older one, you're good with a 7800GS AGP.
