Yes, to fully upgrade my PC, I would need a new motherboard, memory, graphic card and maybe a new psu, would work out to just under 200 pounds or above it infact, I plan on building a new PC at the end of the year.
But I can get a good sound card now and just move it over to the new PC at a later date.
I can't upgrade anything else on my PC, am already using the second best graphic card I can get for my AGP socket, CPU is a A-Socket, so can't really upgrade that.

Save your birthday money put it towards a complete upgrade.
If you're using Socket A then you really do need to upgrade your PC . It is not worth spending all that money on that sound card for 10FPS.

I can afford the sound card and speakers now and these can be moved to the new PC end of the year, so in a sense, am starting to build the new PC now, but for a whole new machine, I can't, well, I could do a basic upgrade package for 200 or so, but I might as well, just save so I can afford the best parts, which is gonna cost 500 or more quid.
I'm no rush, my PC serves me very well, even through it is a A socket, it is very fast in booting and stable, am able to play any game, including crysis.

Well just after last christmas I built a barebones system for £192. I already had a GPU and SC. With the £192 I bought (With special next day delivery); (Please no oh you should have got this cpu and that ram..This isn't a discussion on what he should buy just stating what I did.)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ , Windsor Core, Dual Core 3.0GHz, 1MB Cache, Retail (£97.50)
-
FoxConn N570SM2AA-8EKRS2H (£49.00)
-
2GB (2x1GB) Corsair TwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800), 240 Pins, Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 4-4-4-12, DHX (£39.50)
That was 5 months or so now you could probably get the same system cheaper... Have a look on here and see what you can find.
|
Is that processor good quality? also what socket? AM2 or AM2+ ?
Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.
