Hello everyone! This is my first post on these forums, and I'm seeking advice from you guys on this cheap-o deluxe rig I'm going to be building. First off, I have an ancient HP pavilion running XP, 2.5Ghz P4, 1G of RAM, ATI X1650 AGP Video Card. I've done all I can to upgrade that machine, and now's the time to get something new. Of course, I'm on an extremely tight budget, so I went to Tigerdirect and found some parts that fit my budget. What I'm mainly going to be doing with this rig is play mmo's like WoW, Warhammer Online, and Star Wars the Old Republic whenever that comes out. Judging by the early demos of SW:TOR, it won't be that graphically intense of a game. I'm also going to be using Adobe CS3 programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects.
So, I just want some expert opinions on the parts that I've slected. Can what I've selected run these things with no problems? Or do I need to tweak some items. What I want is to be able to run WoW and WAR anywhere between 40-60 fps, maybe more if possible.
Any advice, suggestions, recommendations, etc. are appreciated. Links are below. Thanks so much!
