Hi guyz,I have the following PC configuration.

P4 2.4 Ghz,Intel 845 Motherboard with an AGP 8x slot and 1 gb RAM and MX4000.

I have RS 10000 at my disposal for upgrading my PC to play games.What would you suggest.Which Gfx card?And if my MB supports it?

Thank you.

U said u have Rs 10k to upgrade, so why don't u sell ur current CPU and opt for a new Intel core 2 duo and a cheap 945 Mobo?

From selling ur PC's CPU, if u can get around Rs. 6-8K, then get a ASUS EN8600GT pci-express card which is DX10 compatible and far better than 7600GT.

dude,

since you already have 10k i suggest you get your self the ati x1950. it is available for around 9k(street price) here in delhi. This card was made to challenge the nvidia 7950. so u can imangine the power it has. Since you have a decent cpu config... this card will rock ur world.

ps- u'll have to get a new psu to feed this beast.

I have decided on

1Asus EN8600GT -$90
Core 2 Duo 2.8 -$130

So I have 50 more dollars

I dont need to upgrade my HDD or RAm.So now I need a MB and a PSU[Mine is 450 watts]

And I still got my PC to sell.So what say.Whats the best course of action now?
