It's been about one year since I've had my PC and now I think it's time to get some new hardware. I don't have too much cash to spend on my Comp; I have a budget of about $300(usd). What I'm primarily looking for is something to improve my fps on the latest games; currently I?m getting about 20FPS while playing F.E.A.R. with occasional severe slowdowns for no reason, and want maybe 30-40.
MY SPECS:
-500 Watt Generic Power Supply
-2x NVIDIA PCI-e 6800's
-AMD Athlon 64 4000+
-2 Gigs of Mushkin DDR400 mem.
-Arctic CPU cooler
-ASUS A8N SLI Premium mobo.
-Creative SB X-FI Sound
-Western Digital Caviar 240 HD


Thanks,
--------Pokey5
