Okay it's been 2 years since I've upgraded my computer. Currently I've got the following;
CASE: Thermaltake III
MOBO: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI
CPU: AMD Toledo 4400
PSU: Thermaltake Silent Pure Power W0049RUC ATX12V / EPS12V 680W Power Supply
MEM: CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200)
VID: Geforce 7800Gt 512Mb
HD: 2x250G SATA drives
DVD: 16x DVD Lite-On Burner
CD: 16x CDRW Lite-On Burner
LCD: Samsung 214T 21.3" monitor
I play games like NWN, NWN2, COD4, Crysis, Frontline: Fuels of War
I was planning upgrading the video card first.
I was looking at he following cards
8800 GTX (G92) 512mb
9800 GTX
9800 GX2
Will these work fine with the mobo, case, psu I currently own?
Is the PSU powerful enough?
I know the mobo is not PCI 2.0, so will the card work. Will I see performance degradation since it's not a PCI 2.0 slot?
Will I see CPU bottlenecks or is the CPU fine?
