I am planing on getting a new system probably by the end of this month or the next.
My system is about 2-3 years old at the moment.
MSI Neo 8 (forgot rest of mobo specs)
Pent 4 2.6 800mhz
x2 512 XMS Corsair 3200
MSI Nvidia GForce TI 4200 128mb (replaced heatsink for copper one)
Maxtor 80gb 5200rpm
What I am wondering is if I can get a decent upgrade to this on a $1500 budget. I need something that will let me run BF2, Oblivion, HL2, etc. Is there anything you could recomend from newegg for around this budget.
Also I have been reading that within the next month or two there might be some drops in prices for processors and GPUs so I don't know if I shuold just go ahead and buy something now or wait a month and maybe get a budget of $2000 and hope for some price drops.
I am not quite sure abuot all the technicalities so I am in need of serious help.
Thanks in advance
