Some say I should, my PC is 3 years old.


Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz(cant upgrade cuz my mobo wont support anything above C2D)

3GB RAM DDR2

ATI 4670 1GB

I can run Dragon Age: Origins at max settings. Other than that, the only game I play is WoW, the rest I play in PS3 cuz I need this PC for work as well.

Anyway, only games I plan to buy in the future are Mass Effect 2, DAO expansions, StarCraft 2. Diablo 3(if its next year Ill probably have a new PC by then)... So you guys think I should buy a new one or this will do for now?

you could use some upgradesid say buy new processor which means new motherboard add another 3 gigs of ram. Your video card is OK but your going to want to upgrade it when the new nvidia cards come out this year. so basically youd have to put in at east 500 dollars to get it up to snuff.

Well Im planning to buy a new PC if not this year, next year for sure. Just wanna know if this will do for the rest of the year(esp. with StarCraft 2).

I already have a PS3 as I said.

What motherboard do you have? I honestly think that if you're just going to buy a new computer a year from now, I'd either go with a GPU upgrade or wait it out. You could also try overclocking. I'm sure that C2D could go a lot higher than 1.8GHz. Not sure about the 4670.

Stay with it until your motherboard dies, then it'd be worth it to get a new PC.
