Well silly me, I went out and bought a $50 game only to find out I will need $100's in upgrades.
I've already been biten on the upgrade for the future big, when I bought my ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe (2 yrs ago) only to not use have the features and find out that an upgrade CPU is like $200 and that upgrade isn't as good as current low end new stuff.....
Anywho...........
I want a CPU/Motherboard throw away combo. I don't give a crap about upgrading it because by the time that comes I will just get a new one. I plan to buy a decent video card (probably an 8800GT and 4GB of RAM)
As for the video card, I want bottom of the barrel price on a performing brand name board and intel core 2 duo CPU. My guess is I don't need half the features on the expensive boards.
Any recommendations?
Cheers.
