Right now I have the following setup
420 Watt Thermaltake PSU
Athlon64 3200 socket 754
Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb
1GB DDR memory
160gb SATA HD
I am on a limited budget currently and was wondering if todays motherboards with either an ATI or Nvidia integrated GPU would blow my well aged 9800pro out of the water (god I still love that card). I was thinking maybe just getting cpu+mobo+memory and getting a gfx card later, would it make sense to do this now? for me it would make sense because I'd like to have dualcore, just wondering how much more I should expect out of current video games (at lower settings ofcourse).
Hope I'm not being too confusing, thanks for your input.
