Currently I'm running:
p4 2.4 ghz
1 gig ram
ATI X850 256 mb agp
With TF2 coming out and WAR on the way I'm wondering if I should get something new within the month or wait until early next year.
I've got about $1300 to spend w/ no monitor/keyboard/mouse/OS needed.
I don't OC, and I won't run SLI ever.
Running games at 1280X1024 leaves me looking at 8800 gts 320 mb or the x2900 pro (IF I can get one by the time I make up my mind). Can/should I get something more expensive?
For CPU, I'm looking at Q6600 vs E6750 or should I get something entirely different?
Any advice for mobos/ram? Planning on 2-gigs and running windows XP.
I'm extremely new at building computers so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
