Hi,
I'm about to upgrade my PC because it can only play CIV3 vanilla and nothing much else.
Let me know what you think about this new upgrade:
RAM= ddr2 2x 1GB
VIDEOCARD = pcie EVGA GeForce GTX 650 TI 2GB
PROCESSOR = AMD ATHLON X4 706K
Would I be able to play the latest PC games with this as well as doing everything else like editing documents and surfing the net? By games I don't mean CoD, Skyrim or Batman I mean Cities XL 2012/13, Trainz 2012, SimCity 3000, CIV5, all the simulator games etc.
I aim to spend about £200 for this upgrade but no more than that. A completely newly built PC would cost me around £400 perhaps more, but I'm only be going to change the video card, processor and get a new monitor.
I am using W7 at the moment but with only 1Gig or 2x 250MB (I should be using 2 x1Gig), I cannot get more than 2 x 1Gig for this PC.
Let me know what you think and hello from the UK!!
