600 dollars for upgrade

[Chopstick217]

Hi, i was wondering what you guys can recommend for an upgrade. Ill most likely need a new video card. I mainly play pc games (world of warcraft) and use my comp for college. My comp specs are listed in my sig. thanks in advance

i wouldn't touch a thing with your current rig.

but then again an x1900xt would be a nice touch

sell off your 6800GT to differentiate the price for a nice kick @$$ vid card. The rest of the rig looks fine...unless somethin' is wrong on your noggin

You look good to go as it is. That's pretty top of the line unless you really hav to tell everyone you have an FX60 or 4 gigs of Ram that isn't used. If you must, the video card is something that could be changed to a 7900gt or better (x1900+).

Time for Vapochill.

Yeah, if you really want to spend that money, sell off the 6800 GT and snag an X1900 XT card.

Video card only thing really worth upgrading

 

[Chopstick217]

Thanks for all the replies guys, ill probably just pick up a video card then . Is there a big difference between the Creative Audigy 2 and the new XFi?

Yes, a newer vid card would be nice, but it really depends on how much gaming you do and what kind of games you play.

There are differences between the X-Fi and the Audigy 2 ZS, price is one, but they're both good sound cards.

The new XFi sounds great with it's strongest suit being mp3 playback. I don't have any experience with the Audigy fam.

Your a college student and that's your rig? 0.0

The GPU is the only thing I see "wrong" with it..although, I'd just pick up a 7900GT for ~$300. From the looks of it you'll be wanting to upgrade again when DX10 comes out, and in the meantime the GT will last you fine.
