computer upgrading by Eljay on 12-09-2004 at 05:04 PM

ive been saving for the last 4-5 months and im getting £100 for christmas so i will have about £500 to spend.
i was going to get a new computer but now ive decided i may as well just "pimp" my current pc so can anybody recommend some really nice upgrades i can buy :)

What do you need the upgrades for?
Games?


RE: computer upgrading by Eljay on 12-09-2004 at 05:14 PM

any sort of upgrades to make it better

my current spec:
AMD 2400+ 2.0GHz processor
80Gb HDD
nVidia GeForce 4 MX440 64MB graphics card (will probably upgrade this)
DVD/CD +/-RW drive
15" TFT Screen

graphics card should be your priority there
How much RAM?

I might upgrade for 512 to 1024 also, as I want to have an uber pc... I might also upgrade my cpu and get water cooling ;).  I'm checking pcworld at the moment for some amd athlon processors, shouldn't be too long doing it now, if I can find anything reasonable, then i might save up to by some things just like you. I also need some new speakers ;).
