i am a average gamer and i want to upgrade my pc to run future games like nfs pro street. plz post the prices also for hardwares which i upgrade. don't care the budget but not very high because i am a strictly average gamer.

Get another 512 Mb DDR2 transcent 667 , but u shud use them in single channel.
cost is 0.8~1k

For da Graphics Card there are lotz of choice and its ur budget that matters.

7600GT : 5.6k
8600GT : 6.5k
7900GS : 8.5k
8500GT : 4.5~5k

but first upgrade ur ram to atleast 1Gb, but to utilize such cards ull need 2 GB in dual channel.

If i had 10k i wd sell my 6200tc and 512mb ddr2 giving me total 12k to spend.. Then get a 8600 gt 2*1gb ddr2 667mhz a hdd maybe

 

[bigdaddy486]

2 GB in dual Channel means 1 gb ram each in two slots?What's the price of 7900GT? What's the price of 1 GB DDR2 Ram?

 

[Pathik]

I gb ddr2 667 is arnd 1.6 to 1.8k..
