Can you help me and suggest a Hardware upgrade specs?

Hello,

I have:

Mother Board: K8T Neo-FSR

AMD 3200+ 64 bit

512MB Ram (Can't exactly remember it's specs :?)

nVidia 5200 Fx 128 MB

I want to be able to play the new games (NFS Pro Street!) at a very good resulotion, something like xbox 360 res or even better!

Considering the budget, don't kill me :D! Something reasonable.

Thanks for the quick reply kruesader!

Well, I'm thinking of a ~$450 budget.

ok just checked, you live in Syria :( so no dice for newegg, is your budget the equivalent of US$450?

are you able/willing to purchase online?

Ya man not in USA .... I know the newegg web site and I check it from time to time :(

Buying online is not an option for me since US doesn't like shipping to here :P

And ya that was the equivalent in US Dollars.

To tell you the truth, I found out that here the Xbox 360 the one which comes with 20 GB I think the name was Premium, costs exactly $470, so I want to see if I get an xbox 360 performance on a PC with that much of money.

I still didn't make up my mind. Me as a Programmer, I would appreciate a better computer performance and use it for good gaming too, but also I'm bored of the fact that when I upgrade my pc the newer games would not work good any more and start lagging I just hate it and bored of it! I like to use a keyboard and a mouse and still not sure if it would be comfortable to play games like Unreal Tournament on Xbox 360? But on the other hand I play it on the Xbox 360 I will be sure that there will be no lagging and playing on max graphics. And another thing is the LAN Parties, I think I will miss that in Xbox 360 .... from time to time I gather with my friends to play some LAN games. I know Xbox has the Live feature, but I don't have a good connection, 1MB ADSL costs ~$200 a month!!!!

Sorry that was a lot ranting :P

I got Nintendo Wii and it is a lot of fun! but my gamer side wasn't satisfied with the graphics at all!

I'm a big fan on Unreal Tournament, and I want to be ready for it :) Xbox 360 or PC :)

So I just want to know what Hardware would I need on a PC to have a similar Xbox 360 Performance???

Thanks TheDarthvader, I think you are right.

And I've just learned that you can actually have LAN Party using the System Link on the Xbox 360!

I'm wondering now if all games with Live feature can be played on LAN??

Did any body try it?

Thanks to all of you guys :)
