Whats good these days i dont have a huge budget would like to keep it under $1000
current spec is

Processor: AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor 3800+, ~2.4GHz
Memory: 2048MB DDR2
Hard Drive: 74 GB Raptor
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX

dunno whats good these days ie bang for buck

AMD or Intel
ATI or nvidia

do i need to upgrade gfx card or will current one be ok for now till i get extra cash later
also need a new case with psu as this one is fubar
dont need hdd's

was aiming at intel Dual Core and nvidia cause there pritty much idiot proof and cbf stuffing around but amd and ati have seem to come a long way so dont mind giving them a try again

you could prob get a mid range Core2 duo E7300 or E7400 with an 9800GTX+ easilly for $1000
if i was to recommend something it would be

Asus P5Q or thereabouts
E7300 to E8400
9800GTX+
2GB+ ram

You could use your existing card for that PC if you wanted to...

Stear clear of AMD and ATI, because atm the bang for buck is pretty minimal
im sure a ton of people will disagree with me tho... tongue.gif
