My specs are...
amd athlon 64 x2 4200+ at 2.2 ghz
6 gb ddr2 ram
geforce 8400 gs
two 250 gb hard drives 7200 rpm
apevia java 500w power supply, 24a on the 12v rail
obviously its time for a upgrade, so for budget (around $200) i want to upgrade either the gpu or cpu not both.
what i want to know is which upgrade will i see the most performance out of for gaming on 1360x720 rez
for the gpu i would go with msi r6850 cyclone pe/oc which is about $180
for cpu i would upgrade to a amd phenom ii x4 840 3.2ghz (including new mobo/ram) which is about $200
so tell me what you think it would be much appreciated
