Back in February, I assembled a computer with these (back then) near-state-of-the art components:
Athlon XP 2800+ At 2.19Ghz (3200+ Barton.)
1Gb PC3200 DDR.
ATA100 7200rpm Disk Drive.
K7N2 Delta Series Board.
Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB Video Card.
However, now it is beginning to get older. Recently it got a PCMark04 score of 3600, and - when the video card is overclocked - it gets a 3dMark01 score of 12,000.
If I am to play games like D3 and others similar to Far Cry in terms of graphics, what needs to be upgraded? I suspect it is primarily the video card - and so hence my reason for putting it in the video section - but could it be the hard drive and other components also?
