Installing PSU and video card

[Dustin_Broke1]

Well actualy I did see a system like mine that was sold for $30 on Good Geeks from Goodwill so my system must be worth around that price right now. But mine is in very good condition and very well taken cared off. Plus I have upgraded ram to 512mb and have the Radeon 7200. That eMachines I saw was only 256mb and had the original Intel AGP video chip. So I think mine is worth around $40 at least. I saw others that was $40 and they had like eather faster processor and 256mb ram or had 512mb with around same speed as mine. But those didn't even have a good card as the Radeon 7200 they were using the Intel onboard video chip.

Honestly i would only pay 10-15 for it. BUT if you get some person who doesn't know about computers i'm sure you could get 30.... MAYBE

I think selling it would be the BEST way to go. ALSO the smartest

You could save up and buy that system Shozzking showed ya or look around on craigslist.

Well eather way I wanted to try the GeForce 9500 GT but problem is that is around $80 or more on Newegg.com But the GeForce 6200 128mb was around $40 new and there was cards like the Radeon 9250 256mb that was $30 new also. I saw some FX series too on Ebay.



Again I said I can't sell this machine and I want to upgrade it to it's best. I will think about getting a better machine once the motherboard fails. This would be the 11th time. Why are you guys trying to make me get rid of my perfectly working system? I told you that it still work and I like it. Yes todays maybe 100 times better but I want to use my system and make it that best it can go.

I personally wouldnt take it if it was free, I'm looking at free P4 machines for a home server and I can get those for $50 in my area.

Well I do remember that I talked to one of the Good Geek guys and they said that if they had a system that was set up like mine then they can sell it for around $40 or maybe more since it has 512mb ram and a nice video card that is better than onboard video.

You are TRULY persistent on keeping that system. It would be like throwing your money down a drain BUT if you really want to upgrade that badly, and don;t have alot of free cash, Look for used on ebay or maybe even amazon.com. Never know what will pop up DON'T expect ANY miracles though

Plus I forgot it now has a 450 watt power supply. So it's worth at least $40 now.

MAYBE for a COMPLETE amateur who knows close to NOTHING about computers, but your chance is STILL low even if that was the case!

 

[shozzking]

whats the point of a nice video card if its bottlenecked by absolutely every other component in your computer

 

[Dustin_Broke1]

Well if my system fails I can use that video card on a newer used machine. But I will have to find a system that uses a micro ATX power supply to use my 450 watts PSU. But that's when that time comes for now I want to upgrade my video card next since now I have a good PSU.
