As I said earlier, I likes my bike... a lot. So no more upgradin that, cause ima content with my bike. So... What to save up for now? Hmm... Lets look at the title :) My Vostro mebbe? Ya... Quad-core matched with a underclocked 3450 - totally matching parts. I've got a 300 dollar budget, tho im trying to stay under 200, or 150, or 100. Well, im azn; what can I say...
So, things to upgrade:
Graphics Card:
Ya 3450 sux pretty badly... So I'm thinking of replacing it
Options:
Sub-$100 : 9800 GT
Sub-$150 : 9800 GTX+
Sub-$200 : GTX 260
Of course, Im also a tree-hugger, hence the no ATI graphix cards, so the 9800 GT is quite appealing rite nao. Obviously, all my friends are encouraging me to get the GTX 260, or even the 280, but those take helluva loads of power. I'm still debating, and will be for the next...5ish months? I mean, i only have the break in april to game, but other than that, no gaming till after i come back from Taiwan.
Power Supply:
Since I'm getting a new graphics card, I think I should also get a new power supply. My current one is like way worse than Vincent's, and hes running a single core and a 9500. I think my comp would take maybe? just a bit more power. Key word there btw... "bit" more power :P So, I'm considering a bunch of them, from the corsair ones to the antec ones to the ocz ones. All I really need is a 400 W legit power supply, and around 30 combined amps on the 2+ 12V rails. Lots of specs i suppose, but the price range for my specs is around 40. Not too shabby :)
I think I'm done for nao. Back to poetry and tryin to find out wtf meter does for a poem!
Edit: I'll post cards over break, and ask ppl for their opinion :) I think i can deal with psu's myself :P Nao i rly gotta do hw

moar liek 4 gtx 295's in quad sli and ur psu's fine lol
yeah what with the few years of high school left, i actually think one of the 9800 variants'll work... and corsair psu's ftw.
LOL get a 9800GT and paint it red. According to the WW theorem it'll run faster.
