Hey all,
I've got my hands on a basic system from work for practically nothing (incorrect build, boss gave me a big discount) which I would like to put a decent video card into it. I am going to give it to my 16 old cousin for his birthday.
The system is as follows (sorry I don't have the finer details on spec):
- MSI mATX 1333 mhz socket 775
- Pentium Dual Core E2140 1.6ghz
- 1gig RAM
- ASUS 18x DVD SATA
- CoolerMaster Extreme 550W PSU
- Windows XP Home
It's a pretty basic system, but I thought I could get it reasonably game worthy.
I was thinking about putting in an EVGA 8800GTS 320MB.
What do you reckon? Any other suggestions would be most appreciated.
