Here is my specs underneath if any could help me I'm trying to run armed assault 2 at decent frames but my current computer does not cut it. So I need some help on upgrading for £300.
I was looking to buy maybe an ati 4850 x2 would that bottleneck my CPU because I think the CPU is the main problem but again I'm not really sure some help and advise would be really appreciated on what to get for around that kind of money and to run armed assault 2 and the latest games.
