So just to put it out I am pretty much bad when it comes to computers. Its basically another language for me.
So now that I've got that out of the way. This is my current hardware set up. Just to let everyone know that I will be investing in a better computer down the road. However, I will be buying one specifically for The Elder Scrolls Online and since they have not even listed the minimum system requirements I ain't going to jump the gun here and buy a new one in advance. So I am mostly just looking to upgrade my video card for the foreseeable future.
This is my current setup:
Operating System: Windows Vista™ Home Premium (6.0, Build 6002) Service Pack 2 (6002.vistasp2_gdr.130104-1437)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
System Model: Inspiron 530
BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4400 @ 2.00GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.0GHz
Memory: 2046MB RAM
Page File: 1540MB used, 2795MB available
Windows Dir: C:\Windows
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
DxDiag Version: 7.00.6002.18107 32bit Unicode
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce 8400 GS
DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC
Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0404&SUBSYS_C7383842&REV_A1
Display Memory: 1266 MB
Dedicated Memory: 499 MB
Shared Memory: 767 MB
Current Mode: 1440 x 900 (32 bit) (60Hz)
So my budget is around anything below $100.00. I would be willing to push it up to $150.00 if required.
I was actually thinking about picking up a GTX 550 Ti. Any recommendations?
Thanks a lot.
