From Bad To Good


Recommended Posts

the most important thing you get will be the motherboard, it will determine whether or not you can upgrade easily in the future.

 

If you are on a really tight budget check out ebay, I got most everything in my current rig on ebay and it runs fine. I spent a little over 400$ and got a quad core rig with 2g of ram and an ati 3850. Best thing is that the motherboard supports crossfire so if I choose I can grab another 3850, or upgrade to a new card and crosfire it down the road.

 

3850 is a great card. My 7600GS just devours oblivion at 560 mhz clock. 12 fixed pipelines don't mess around. It's not quite as good looking as newer cards but I still love to jump up and down while casting spells that have light shadow effects and watch them change the character shadow way too slow compared to the older cards.
