Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
The WoW Companion App is Retiring
MMO-Champion
So I've got the following specs:
CPU Type:
AMD FX(tm)-8120 Eight-Core Processor
CPU Speed:
3.17 GHz
System Memory:
8.57 GB
Video Card Model:
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
Video Card Memory:
4.27 GB
Hard Disk Size:
258.93 GB
PSU: 380w (Antec)
I'm planning on upgrading my gaming computer but I'm not sure what I should upgrade next in order to not get any sort of bottle-necks.
I was thinking perhaps the video card but I'm not sure if I should perhaps change my current procesor or perhaps get some more ram.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Edit:
Budget: 130€
Resolution: 1680x1050
Games/Settings desired: Hopefully something good enough to run latest game on mid-high graphic options.
Country: Spain
Parts that can be reused: I'm planning to keep the same pc just want to replace parts but I just dont know what I should exactly replace next.
OS: Windows 7
Peripherals: I'm good with periferals atm.

A good place to start is by filling out the Build Help Sticky, so we know what budget, as well as other things to work with.
In the meantime, I'll move this to the Upgrade Help subforum.Gaming: Dual Intel Pentium III Coppermine @ 1400mhz + Blue Orb | Asus CUV266-D | GeForce 2 Ti + ZF700-Cu | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 | Whistler Build 2267
Media: Dual Intel Drake Xeon @ 600mhz | Intel Marlinspike MS440GX | Matrox G440 | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 @ 166mhz | Windows 2000 Pro

Graphics card by a mile. What is your power supply? Right now the best bang for your buck card is the Nvidia GTX 760 for ~$250, but you will notice large gains from cheaper cards as well. The GTX 660 is a good deal as well and should be in your price range. Also AMD is about to release a new set of cards which may tilt things in their favor, or at the very least lower Nvidia prices.

I've got a 380w power supply, im guessing I would also have to upgrade this aswell if I get a more powerful graphics card? :P
If I get a new psu, what wattage should I be aiming for? would 500w be enough?
