Hi guys, I'm just after a bit of advice as to what I can upgrade to. I custom built this PC a couple years ago but it seems to be lacking performance and is in need of an upgrade.......the current configuration is:
Asus P5NE-Sli motherboard
Nvidia Gefore 6600 GT graphics card
Intel Dual Core E2160 processor
2GB RAM
Running Windows Vista
The pc is ok except since I upgraded to vista I am having a few power issues, occasionally crashing and the sound card not working. The main problem thought is that a few of the games I have recently bought (up to date games) have green flashing lines when I am playing them and I don't have the option to set graphics, shadows etc to High.....so I'm guessing the graphics card is struggling. So primarily I want to upgrade the graphics card to a decent card that will play most the games out at the mo........general system speed could improve too. Problem is, I'm not so sure what graphics cards will fit my motherboard, if I should upgrade the whole system.....that kinda thing. any advice on graphics cards, possible sets up etc would be great. Thanks a lot
