Thanks to everyone for their input into this matter. I'm worried as to whether spending the money to upgrade my computer or bulding/buying one would be a better investment.
Even while improving my videocard and ram, if my motherboard can't keep up with either then its going to be degraded quite a bit right?
secondly i was somewhat worried about my processor in general. I have a 3ghz pentium D. Is this equally worthless nowadays?
so in summary we're talking about replacing my videocard, ram, motherboard, processor and.... sounds like a whole new computer to me
Finally, again. I noticed that the eve online premium graphics edition recomends blu ray/HD dvd capability. Is this gonna be pretty standard in games to come you think?
