FEAR on my 7600 GT at High Settings is minimum over 80 fps for me so a 7600 GT is good enough for you. Although if you want to be playing more modern games you might want a newer graphics card. The 6200 LE you mentioned is nothing, it's crap, don't even think about it.

Could you give us more specifications about your computer?
Then we can choose out a nice VGA card which fits with your other hardware.

Cuz if you install a 8800GTS combined with a P4 3Ghz, the CPU can't keep up with the VGA and you will lose performance of the VGA-card.

If you got a specification similliar to this:

P4 3Ghz
1GB DDR 400Mhz
PCI-E compatible mainboard

Then a 8500GT should be a nice upgrade. It doesn't cost that much, and you got DirectX 10 and you are able to run the newest games nice and smooth at everything at medium/high including C&C 3 and F.E.A.R.

A 400 Watt PSU should be enough.
But never take a Celeron D proc.
They suck hard.

I suggest buy a good computer now for the upcomming OS's, games and applications.
So you dont need to buy a new computer withing a year.

I suggest:

Intel E6320 processor
1GB DRR2 667MHz memory
Gigabyte G33-DS3 motherboard
Samsung 250GB S-ATA 2 HDD
Antec Basiq 350/400Watt PSU
8500GT 256MB DX10 VGA card

With this computer you should only update your VGA card after one and a half year.
Cuz then it'll be a lil bit slow for the games comming out next year.
And the rest of hardware should keep it up for two/two and a half years.

Consider the 7600 GT and don't get the 8500 GT. That card is a piece of crap, trust me I had one. With the 8500 GT you are looking at LESS than half the power of a 7600 GT for about the same price.

Celeron D = a steaming pile of crap

if your tight on cash definitely go for the AMD athlon 64 X2s. They are BETTER than Pentim D And a lot better than celeron D.

Yeah that is pretty good. You re-use your old case, HDD, and DVD drive.

My lil bro also has a 8500GT, and it runs like edited by ddp.
Maybe it runs bad in combination with your hardware.

No, I think my hardware is fine. What games does your brother play? Maybe you can install fraps and tell us what kind of FPS is he getting on them and at what resolutions and quality settings?

Best Regards,
Abuzar.

CPU: E6600
Mobo: Gigabyte G33-DS4
Mem: 2GB OCZ Gold DRR2 800Mhz
VGA: Gigabyte 8500GT 256MB (Next week it'll be replaced for a 8800GTX)
HDD: 2x WD Raptop 36GB 10.000RPM in Raid 0 configuration

He often plays BF2 on a resolution of 1650x1050 with a contstant framerate around 40 ~ 45.
So that is enough to make the game play smoothly.
And when he gets his new VGA card, it'll be around 100 :P

He also plays Colin McGay Dirty (Colin McRae DiRT) and that runs at 1280x1024 everyhing at high with AAx4 and AFx8 with a framerate around 35 ~ 40.
So still enough to let the game run smootly.

Most new games are running smooth.
Altough I think Crysis and Bioshock won't run that smooth.
Thats why he is switching to a 8800GTX so he can enjoy those games @ max graphics force.

No offense but I think he is lying to you about most new games running smoothly. Check it out at toms hardware.

Thats a chart for BF2142 edited by ddp.
That game has much more advanced graphics details.
And ofcourse the VGA card of my bro is OC'ed real hard combined with a water cooled system.

So you can OC it pretty much.
And it runs like a edited by ddp now.

I know it is a chart for BF2142, which happens to be a modern game. Maybe you should read your own posts?

I think a decent Pentium 4 CPU, a decent PSU and a 7600GT will give you some decent gaming power for a while.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116004

With the 3GHz Pentium 4 you will see a GIGANTIC difference from your 2.8GHz Celeron D. The Celerons are the only processor I have NEVER recommended for someone. They are CRAP!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153023

This is a DAMNED fine PSU and probably one of the best ever made. It has a near-flawless record and some very decent power output.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130062

The 7600GT is about equal to a 6800 Ultra or an X850XT and will give you some pretty amazing performance for the price. It should hold you over until you can earn more money.

:EDIT:

I noticed you are talking in pounds sterling. You should be able to find these on ebuyerUK. Just search using these model names: EVGA 7600GT, Thermaltake TR2 430W, and Pentium 4 631. Those should get you what you need.

Happy hunting!

thanks guys for all your help, ill be on and update ya what ill get when i get my next pay check

@edit hmm problem, non of them match the products you showed me on newegg.com ebuyer is rubbish for cheap cards only does extremely good range like the lowest one fitting the 7600gt is at least £60/$120

kinda point less on a budget around £70/$140 lol i cant wait till next weekend

also im confused with psu's, they all have 20+4 pin why? why not call them 24pin and 20 pin much easier

Ayame, i live for you xxx even though the sight may fade the feelings shall always remain

Ayame, i owe you my life but thats all i have to give to you as you already have my love and my heart
