Hi all,
I'm thinking of updating my old work PC to be more of a media PC/second gaming PC and it's showing its age abit, especially in the noise department!
Specs are:
Dell Case
Dell 350W Power Supply
Dell 925X Motherboard
Pentium 4 530 (3.0GHz), stock Dell Cooler
4GB GeIL PC2-5300 (Added upgrade)
1x 160GB HD, 1x 80GB HD
ATI Radeon X800XT PCI-Express 256MB
I was thinking of just upgrading the GPU at this stage, to keep costs down, to an AMD 4850 (~£110 at Scan). I have a feeling a motherboard and cpu swap would be better but that, with the graphics card, would bring it to about £250, which is quite a lot. That, and I think I'd need a new case would then be needed due to Dells proprietry fittings in its case, taking the cost even higher.
Am I crazy to consider just a graphics card update at this time? I was thinking I could upgrade the rest at a later date?
Cheers,
G
