Okay, so now when christmas is nearing and my birthday coming soon, I've decided to put the money on a computer upgrade, or mainly a graphics card I think. This is what I got now:
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+
Processor speed: 2.30 GHz
RAM: 3.5 GB
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Graphics Card: GeForce 8600 GT
I would like a new computer but that would take me many months to get money to, so what is the most important thing I should get new? I know my processor isn't great and my graphics card is really not great either.
Please give suggestions on graphics cards, good but cheap, I want to be able to play games like... Fallout 3/Bioshock on highest, or at least pretty high settings. I'm currently playing through NFS Most Wanted and I can't even play that on highest.
EDIT: I'm just wondering this too... I have an old GeForce 8400 GS, can I put that in the computer with my 8600 GT? Do they work well together or is it fucked up? lol
