What would you do?? (new pc)
I have read quite a few threads in the forum on hardware, and im thinking of getting me some upgrades or maybe a new computer?
My budget is 1200$
Current rig:
AMD dual core 2.2 GHZ, 4 GB ram, SATAII in raid 1 TB. Windows vista home. Geforce 7950 GX2 (1gb ram).
Case 1:
By a whole new "low" cost rig (dual core etc.) which would have vista installed and would possibly be able to run 2-3 wow sessions from a hardware store - you know those fairly cheap rigs they always advertice with.
Case 2:
Upgrade my existing PC with the Intel i7 bla bla bla processor, 6 GB ram and MB, keeping the grafic card, case and PSU (1000 W). (windows Vista home - yearh I know, should have bought 64 bit doh!)
- I can more or less use the old MB and cpu to create a a new PC from parts I have laying around, it would look like this:
AMD dual core 2.2 GHZ, 4 GB ram, Windows XP - 250 GB harddisk (not in raid), Geforce 6800 (GTX?) - I think this rig would run 2 sessions okey.
Im using Dual Monitors.
For me Case 2: would mean alot of work reinstalling vista and afterwards setting up the other new pc with the old parts. But I would end up with a main computer with alot of power, where I only would need to upgrade the grafic card sometime within the next year or so..... and I would be able to buy more RAM later on.
If I go for case 1: I don't really have to do any installing and so, and I would get a whole new rig incl. new dvd drive etc. etc. AND I would get a Windows vista pre installed on the computer.
EDIT: Currently 5-boxing on my present PC which is a lag hell in fx. Stormwind......
