Hey guys,
Im a 12th grader and so gaming is sorta off limits this year however i want to continue with it somewhat. I was planning to get some stuff from the states his year to upgrade my pc a bit.
It has a core 2 duo 6320 @ 1.86Ghz
1GB 667Mhz Transcend stick
160GB HD
Razer Diamondback
Creative 2.1 Aspire
microsoft basic wired keyboard
AOC 19'' Widescreen monitor
Intel D946GZIS Motherboard
160 GB HDD
The problem is that my Nvidia Geforce 6600GT blew out....
Im have a limit of spending around 12k only and i wanted a razer piranha and a razer lycosa costing 160$. Now, if i got a 9600GT or a 3870, do i need to change my motherboard??? I know i have to certainly get a new PSU if i get one of these cards....I dont at all wanna spend too much so i was thinking to settle in for a cheap Nvidia 7 series card this year until 12th gets over and then i can upgarde to a sweet card and mobo.
pls tell me ur take coz if i have to get a new mobo too then i dont think ill get a 9600GT or a 3870...
I really wanted the Piranha and the Lycosa though so that cant be cut outta the list.
thanks a ton for going through this all and pls do reply.
