I'm looking to upgrade my current system and I've got a budget of £200 ish. My issue is what to upgrade first.
My current system:
Akasa Eclipse 62 Case
AMD 3500+ 939 CPU
Zalman CNPS7700 Cooler
Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe Mobo
Enermax Noisetaker 485W PSU
2GB Corsair Value RAM
XFX 6800GS XXX Edition
120GB Hitachi 2mb Cache (Windows Drive)
250GB Samsung 8mb Cache (Games Drive-sorry its not a Raptor )
Ok, so my question is what would be better to upgrade-the graphics card or Mobo/CPU/RAM? I do plan to upgrade all at some point but student budget won't stretch that far atm.
I was looking at a 8800 GTS if I went with graphics card but I'm not sure whether the 12v Rails amp on the PSU are good enough (I get a bit confused by it tbh). My other concern was that my other system components would bottleneck a new graphics card.
Help and advice would be much appreciated. Cheers!
