uhm what.. you're not seriously putting a 470 with an Athlon 64?
[QUOTE=ferrus;22477769]uhm what.. you're not seriously putting a 470 with an Athlon 64?[/QUOTE] Why not. It's not that bad. I can always get a new CPU later.
just get a new computer, it's better to get everything at once than over a period of time.
How many threads do you have to make? This is like the fourth one! [editline]06:49PM[/editline] I mean seriously, this guy is a troll. What happened to the 5830 you got from your previous thread?
Dude your cpu sucks ass it's going to bottleneck the 470

Seriously I'm not a hardcore gamer, I'm just a casual enthusiast, so I can wait until after I get this upgrade I can get a new mobo and CPU. I will just keep my 2gb DDR2 ram and my 650w PSU. But seriously I don't know why everyone gets pissed off so easily because I don't want to waste all my money instantly on a new CPU so soon. I just bought this on last summer.
with that CPU the upgrade is not even worth getting.

No it won't. Get a new CPU, motherboard and RAM.

Just seems odd that you made so multiple threads. I guess when I saw it was you I was annoyed.
if you're not a hardcore game then why get a top of the line GPU? [editline]09:13PM[/editline] also if you bought your current computer last summer I hope it dirt cheap... or free...

I just keep piling upgrades over it, then sell the old parts for money for new ones.
[QUOTE=RiotashumaV2;22479812]I can upgrade my CPU in a few months, but this upgrade WILL make my PC run faster.[/QUOTE] no it won't [editline]05:38AM[/editline] better get a cheaper case, cheaper gpu, no SSD and get a CPU and mobo
you've been upgrading it piece by piece for 6 years?
[QUOTE=ferrus;22480369]no it won't [editline]05:38AM[/editline] better get a cheaper case, cheaper gpu, no SSD and get a CPU and mobo[/QUOTE] Explain how and SSD, and 470 and 2 more gb of ram wont make my PC faster.
huge bottleneck.
[QUOTE=Makol;22480414]huge bottleneck.[/QUOTE] My friend has a 5000+ and a 480, gets a constant 300fps in L4D2. and 80fps in Crysis. Keep in mind 1440x900.
bottleneck.
[QUOTE=Makol;22480507]bottleneck.[/QUOTE] Doesn't seem like it. And I'm on a budget, If I restart my PC from scratch it will be a lot shittier, and wont be worth the money cause it wont be much better than my current one.

Power consumption, heat, amount of stream processors, speed, everything.
Alright, I'm on an 800-1000 dollar budget for a new PC, fire away. Not including HDD OS. I still need a monitor I guess. I have a mouse already.

Sorry, I misjudged my computer knowledge. But it does lack in 1920x1200 preformance, and being as my budget is going to be somewhere a little under 1000(Thats how much I will have made by the end of the summer maybe I can get something more like a 5830. Or Maybe I'll lower my budget so I'll have a Pc during the summer, I don't know. [editline]10:22PM[/editline] I like what GamerKiwi posted, except I'm in Canada.. :saddowns: And that mobo only supports 1200 ram, and the ram you put in there is 1600.

Also, look into the nVidias 400 series, which you were. So yeah, don't get a 5770 for that resolution. Was just trying to point out your mistake.
