Hi all,
I am looking to buy a new graphics card within the next month or so to play the new batch of games coming out soon - crysis/ut3/cod4 etc. I will probably also need to buy a new psu. I haven't gone for the current 2900pro or 8800gts since the 2950pro/8800gt are supposed to be released within the month and should offer better features and performance for the same amount of money.
My base specs are as follows:
Opteron 180 @ 2.6ghz
socket 939 epox nforce 4 ultra
3gb DDR400 corsair value ram (2x1gb & 2x512mb)
7800gt pci-e @ 425/1000
480w hiper type-r psu
(2xdvdrw & 3xsata2 hds)
I have about £300-350 max to spend on a new graphics card + psu and I am hoping that this upgrade will see me through for another year before needing to upgrade completely. Originally I was looking at a 8800gtx - but since I have a relatively old machine I don't think its worth it. Which graphics card and psu would you recommend given my specs - and do you think I could run a 8800gt with my current psu?
