Current rig: P5B Deluxe/WIFI-AP mb C2D E6320 @ 2.8 Ghz 8600 GTS 1 Seagate HDD 320GB 7200RPM CM 600W PSU 2Gb of Corsair Value Memory @ 800 mhz 17" monitor (1280x1024 res) Windows XP Pro SP2 I live in Australia and been looking around the several websites and found MSY has the cheapest prices so far. I want to get a better GPU for gaming, and video editing and stuff. Now there's this problem, my PSU's AMPs on its 12v rails only (total) 36amps. Because of this I want to upgrade my PSU as well. Furthermore, I'm looking for another HDD, a faster RPM, such as velociraptor. I have a tight budget and only will upgrade one thing at a time. For the video card, I'm currently eyeing either gtx 260(216) or gtx 275 or 4890. Gtx 260 = $224-226 Gtx 275 = $278-279 HD 4890 = $236-259 These are the prices at the time of writing. Since my PSU's total amps only 36, I dont think getting a 260 or 275 is a wise decision for now. Should I upgrade my PSU first before getting one of these cards? However my PSU can definitely handle 4890. Will my current CPU bottleneck any of these cards? what about if i oc'd it to 3.5ghz? However, the WD VRaptor also around $200 and a new PSU will cost me around $200 as well. Which should I upgrade first, and in which order should I upgrade my rig? I'm thinking of goin for the GPU, then the HDD and lastly the PSU. Please drop some suggestions, will be really appreciated. Regards, Fle |
