Need to upgrade my gaming pc, what components? Got £300 to do it!
My current PC is:
Proccessor: AMD ATHLON 64 X2 2ghz
Motherboard: MSI MS-7253
Ram: 1GB DDR2
HDD: 80gb HDD
Graphics: Nvidia 8400gs 512mb
My aim is to build a PC that can play most of the following games at as close as possible to 60fps on max settings at 1280 x 720.
The list of games I will be playing are:
GTR 2
GRID
F1 2010
GTA IV
Half Life 2
Portal 2
Oblivion
Test Drive Unlimited 2
Trainz 2011
And i will want to try and play these to games but im guessing 60fps wont happen with my budget
Crysis 1 & 2
Metro 2033
Some of them are older than others but they are the reason I am upgrading as I will want to play them all at the specs I stated above.
I have been looking at this bundle:*http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/Intel-Core-i3-Bundle-Asus-P8H61-M-LE-Intel-Core-i3-2100-4GB-DDR3-1333Mhz-p1102.htm
Which is £167 and consists of:
Processor: i3 2100 3.1ghz
Motherboard:*Asus P8H61-M LE
Ram: 4gb ddr3
And I was going to get this case and PSU:*http://www.dabs.com/products/best-value-437-09b-micro-atx-case--500w-psu-7LDK.html
Which is £25.
And this graphics card:*http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/ATI-Radeon-HD-5570-1GB-82p874.htm
ATI Radeon HD5570 1GB which is £57.
And this HDD:*http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/-b-NEW-b-1TB-S-ATAIII-6-0Gb-s-13p1067.htm

The total for this is £289.
I already have a monitor, speakers, keyboard and mouse.
Is there anything as you think I should add or replace and what performance do you think I should expect? Thanks for reading and I'm looking forward to your opinions.
