Need suggestions for upgrading !!
Hey everyone this is my first post here so her it goes .
I bought this new pc a couple months ago ..
AMD Athlon II X4 620 2.61 Ghz
Windows XP srvcpk2
Mother Board ASRock N68-S
3.50 Gb RAM
NVidia GeForce 9300 GS
HD WDC WD5000AAKS-00V1A0 500Gb
...but now i realized that this is not enough to run the games i play at decent settings ... so i tried overclocking and that helped, still wasn't enough and my Temperatures went sky high .
So my question is what kind of hardware upgrade would bring me the maximum performance for an affordable price .
Oh by the way the game im trying to run is ARMA 2 and Call of Duty WaW .
I really appreciate your help .

Your Graphics is really letting you down.... Can you post the PSU specs (make, model, watts and +12v amps). Also your budget.

I'm assuming you mean $800?
Is that American or what?
What online retailers are you able to use?
Are you capable/willing to upgrade this yourself?

Yes i have up to $800 U.S to spend but i dont mind if i can do it for cheaper .

Regarding the online retailers ill be honest im not used to them so im open to suggestions and in that note i dont think i have the knowledge or skills to upgrade it myself, ill probably have to find someone to do it for me .

Well if it were me and I had $800 to play with I'd be looking at a i5 and a 5xxx series ATI card as well as a new PSU

here you can see a comparison of the 7850 vs GTX 570 (GTX 560 Ti 448 is reduced spec 570, so the 448 Core would be close to the 7850 in performance, if not just behind it a hair): AnandTech |...
