First off, I must mention I did try to post in the 2012 Need New Computer thread and it seems locked, so I don't really know where else to look for advice unless someone in here can point me in the right direction.
Otherwise, I am only looking for suggestions on what I can do with a $2-300 range to getting myself a good quality graphics card and PSU. I finally was able to get myself a job. I'm fucking excited about getting some awesome visuals for a change.
Here are my current specs.
Processor AMD Phenom II X4 820(2.8GHz) Processor Main Features 64 bit Quad-Core Processor Cache Per Processor 4 x 512KB L2 Cache
Memory 6GB DDR3
Hard Drive 640GB SATA 7200RPM
Optical Drive 1 16X DVD±R/RW SuperMulti Drive
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5450 with 512MB of dedicated DDR3 VRAM, supporting Unified Video Decoder (UVD), OpenEXR High Dynamic-Range (HDR) technology, Shader Model 5.0, Microsoft DirectX 11, OpenGL 3.2, OpenCL 1.0
Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Motherboard Chipset AMD 880G
CPU CPU Type Phenom II X4
Graphics GPU/VPU Type ATI Radeon HD 5450 Graphics Interface PCI Express 2.0 x16
Memory Memory Capacity 6GB DDR3 Form Factor DIMM 240-pin
Memory Spec 2GB x 2 & 1GB x 2 Memory Slot (Total) 4 Memory Slot (Available) 0
Hard Drive HDD Capacity 640GB
I am willing to spend somewhere in the range of $200. The absolute highest I'm willing to go is maybe $250 or maybe even $300.
Oh shit. There's a part 2. nvm
