    4 replies, posted
Hello! I just graduated from college and My PC is 4 years old and starting to feel like it. I do: Web design, video editing, flash animation, programming Lots of games Hopefully lots of new games what I DONT need: Monitor keyboard mouse speakers what I have now: Intel core2 duo E8400 @ 3.0 ghz 4 gigs ram windows vista 32 bit :( ATI 5870 750 watt power supply I built it myself back then, but now I have little knowledge of current stuff. My budget: about 1000 dollars. The video card was upgraded 2 years ago. If there was one other thing i'd keep, it would be that. Your help is appreciated, buddies!
Do you want a new case? And what is the PSU?
corsair TX750w new case? maybe. I have a lian-li but it's pretty beat up. Also, I need no hard drives/disc drives and all that jazz. [editline]15th June 2011[/editline] Also I need a new operating system... (windows 7)
What brand of 5870 do you have?

I -think- HIS. [editline]15th June 2011[/editline] and is that 16GB of ram? Haha
