I haven't keeping up PC's news for the past 2 years. I would like your help. I want to upgrade my PC to play Just Cause 2. Since this game doesn't support Windows XP, I want to install Windows 7 and other hardwares if needed at the same time.
I want to play game at resolution 1650 x 1050 with mostly high-detail settings (some medium-detail settings are fine too), 2xAA, and 4x anisotropic filtering in decent frame rate (30fps or 60 fps depending on games).
My current PC:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor BX80570E8400
GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400
SAPPHIRE 100245HDMI Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP Black 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power Supply
Samsung 2232GW 22" Widescreen Monitor
I also want to keep the cost down too.
I am thinking about adding 2 more GB of DDR2 800 ram and get MSI N460GTX CYCLONE 1GD5/OC GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card.
What do you think?
Thanks!
