    Default New computer

    Hello!
    Yea just need a pc that will last me like 3 - 6 months...
    So far I have:
    Motherboard
    Asus M4A785D-M pro
    Ram
    Patriot Sector 5 G series (2x2gb)
    Processor
    AMD Athlon IIx2 240
    Graphics card
    HIS ATI 5770
    Power supply
    Atrix 720w black

    What should I change for something of the same price and what should I upgrade after 6 months? (other that the Processor)

    Drop the 5770 and get a 4890 or 5850

    my advice is go for the athlon 2 x4 (620) its only about R500 more and it aint no slouch, recently built 1 for a friend and its gaming performance is almost neck and neck with phenom 2 x4 system (my I7 still whips it though )

    4890 will be slightly better or perform the same but who knows how dx 11 is gonna boost the 5850's performance and how much the card is going to improve with future drivers.Performance diffidence between the two is minimal though.

    A 4770 should be fine till then.Nothing extreme
    Edit:Even a 4850/4870 is fine.
