Author Topic: So I'm going to build a new computer.  (Read 2163 times)

My laptop is a complete piece of junk, and I've got this old Dell PC from 2004-ish, and I can't really upgrade the laptop because the video card is stuffty and its integrated to the motherboard. I figured I'd just use my unused windows 7 ultimate disc thingy, buy a ton of new parts, and just upgrade the desktop. Whare and What parts should I buy to make it a decent gaming computer, something that could support Oblivion(and maybe Skyrim?). I know newegg.com is great, but I don't really know what the parts are really called. what ar esome essential upgrades I should get for a computer? Im thinking maybe a quad core processor(Ill need to check the prices first) and like a 750mb video card. What else?

you only need 512mb video card imo


yeah unless you're on a tiny budget get a 1gb card. its worth it.

1 GB or no balls.

Your all stupid.

there is almost no difference between 512MB and 1gb video cards.

I have a 512mb video card and i can run TF2/P2/P/HL2/Crysis on max settings at 60 fps (capped at 60 because source)

oh wow. not only did you say 512mb and 1gb video cards are the same, you bragged because you can run source games. ooohh wowwww. and then you even called crysis a source game!
