 Getting a new PC - Suggestions
Hey there. It's good old "9 posts" himself, asking for a nice bit of community help.
I'm getting a new PC. Money off from Open University and stuff, and this one is pretty bad. I run most games at 20-30FPS. Half a gig of RAM. I'm wondering what goes into an overall good gaming experience.
I'm guessing that I'll want more RAM, and something better than this 5-year-old graphics card. But I'm wondering about processers and the like. Whether I need a more powerful one, and what it would do.
Working on a mild budget, here, as well.

Some rules of thumb for decent game performance: CPU: Single core 3.0GHz, Dual core 1.8GHz RAM: >= 2Gig HDD: >= 120Gig GPU: >= 256bit
That said, I'm no expert.

I'll sell you mine. Half a terabyte of space, 3.2 ghz AMD Athlon 6400, 4870, 4.5 gigs of RAM, etc etc. Though with my luck you're in the UK.
