Help needed for upgrading

[1993gregory]

Hi everyone

I have a pc with the following config:-

Dualcore @ 2.50GHz E5200
Ram- 2Gb DDR2
Motherboard - ASUS P5SD2-VM
HDD- Seagate 160 GB
Monitor - 15" Syncmasters 591s(CRT)


I want to buy a GPu for gaming( games like CODMW2 & FIFA)
and a new motherboard (i am willing to sell my current one )
and a LCD monitor( cheap one )


I am ready to sell my monitor and my motherboard.
my budget is under 12k.
Please help

you mean monitor + mobo + gpu for 12k. buddy save up more.

ya 12k plus whatever the motherboard and mon fetches.
Or just a GPU will do

Then get HD6850 or GTX460 within 12k & don't sell your monitor & MoBo.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

get DELL IN2020M 20" @ 6.5k + HIS IceQ HD5670 512mb @ 5k.

you can order the gpu from here - [FS] HIS AMD/ATI Graphics Cards. Limited Time special rates. 3 Yrs Warranty. Grab Em!

if you cant order online look at Sapphire as i doubt HIS will be availbale everywhere.
look at mobo + cpu upgrade later.

BUT WHICH PSU YOU HAVE.?

^^ good suggestion. also no need waste money in upgrading ram. just save up more & get rid of the old proccy, mobo & ram & than get something like Athlon II X4 + 880G based motherboard + 2Gb ram. will cost 10k. else wait till AMD's next gen processor & mobo come up or cheaper sandy bridge processors i.e. summer or latter.

thnx anyways will my current Mobo with PCI 1.0 support PCI 2.0 and PCI 2.1
with full performance

and yes hw can i tell which PSU i have
i have been trying to find out but no luck

 

[Piyush]

^^any label on the psu
at least the brand name and wattage
it will do..

 

[coderunknown]

PCIe X16 1.0 won't bottleneck that card. its not a highend card so no worry.

about PSU, if possible click a pic & upload to some image sharing site & post the link here. or doing what Piyush baba told will also work fine. but i guess you are using a generic PSU.
