My PC used to be great back in the day, but it is old and tired now, and in desperate need of an upgrade. Especially with all the next-gen games on the way, I fear my poor PC won't be able to handle games like it used to.
So, I was wondering if anyone has some hardware tips for me. What should I buy to upgrade my system?
Here are my current specs:
AMD Athlon XP 3200+
2.21 GHz, 1GB RAM
Should I get a better processor? Most likely. What do you recommend?
Radeon 9600
Should I get a better graphics card? What do you recommend?
80GB hard drive
As of now I am using about 95% of my hard drive. Over the years, it has been cluttered with all kinds of things. Could this be affecting my PC's performance? Should I do something? Reformat? New hard drive?
Also, what are some ideas about cooling systems? I have 4 or 5 fans, but i've had problems with overheating before.
Yeah, so if anyone has any info for me about upgrading, parts, costs, places to buy, etc., that'd be great! Thanks.
