Need help guys,
I plan to buy a new vga card, my old system are Pentium D 820 and Asrock 775 DUal VSTA. Since the mobo only supported 4x PCI-e (am i right?) im gonna need a new mobo (PCI-e 16x).
Another problem, bcoz i have to change mobo anyway im looking around and read that Athlon64 x2 easily beat Pentium D and very cheap too (type 4800 +/- $50)
So for my tight budget, what should i pick:
a) Keep my Pentium D, buy a LGA775 mobo (ASUS P5KPL-AM SE /GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L) and 9800GT (Leadtek)
b) Buy Athlon64 x2 4800, an AM2 mobo (ASROCK N68-S) and HD 4670 (Sapphire)
I think both options are still on the same price range
Note: i only have 400Watt PSU (Silverstone ST400), 2GB DDR II 667
Any suggestion? many thanks.
