My Config - Intel C2D E6550 , RAM 2GB , Bio Star TP35 MOBO , 24" Dell LCD , Resolution 1920X1080 , PSU - Corsair VX450.
Was using a 4850 which died on me , Not much of a gamer ( at the most CiV5) so need something that will allow me to play at least that game and full HD with out any issues.
Would really like a single slot card that doesnt need more power as I was hoping to add one add on USB 3.0 card , for my external HDDs ,which generally sits on the PCI 1.0 card slot.
Oh ! and the budget , ideally around 5000 but some concessions upto 2000 can be made for a better option.
What would be the best suited card for me ?
PS - even if I upgrade , would like to keep this config for at least 2 yrs as HTPC or Download rig for some time.
Would adding 2 GB more RAM make my life better ? Especially in CiV5 ???
