I'm planning on upgrading soon and I'm on a budget of say around $400 maybe even $500, I just want the upgrade to last me until a series 9 Geforce card comes out next year so I can get that so I will be sticking with my current 7300 GT as of now.
What I have
Motherboard - MSI MS-7145
Processor - AMD Athlon 64, 2400 MHz(12 x 200) 3400+
PSU - 300W Model ATX-300-12E Rev D
RAM - 512 MB DDR 400 MHz CL3 x2 (1 GB)
What I plan on getting
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 Allendale 2.2GHz 2M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 $127.99
Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 $94.99
Memory - OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 $74.99 ($39.99 after rebate)
Power Supply - Thermaltake Purepower W0100RU ATX 12V 2.0 500W Power Supply $59.99 ($34.99 after rebate)
Total - $297.96 (After rebates)
I want to know how much of an improvement I will see with this, right now I can play Crysis on low with 1028x768 res with decent FPS (around 20-25), I'm hoping to be able to play on medium and keep it at that until next year.
