Graphics will be internal.. Maxtor 6L160M0 SATA 1.5GB/s (160gb) 250gb Hard Drive SATA 3.0GB/s Sony DVD-RWThe trade-in for my old one to this new config will cost around $250So I was thinking if it is a reasonable price to pay for a PC that I will usefor Games, Video Editing (VideoStudio and possibly PremierPro) and surfing the netThe games I expect to play are Football Manager, PES, FIFA and many of the available RTS gamesWhat are your suggestions?

puntoMX Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 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?

But first I have to decide if I upgrade or notMy 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 whatI stated above for $250, is it really worth while?

weEvil Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Ohh, whats your opinion, would you upgrade if you would do whatI 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
