Noob upgrade advice
Hey all!
OK, so I haven't turned on my desktop in over 6 months. I'm starting to get back into PC games (Xcom, Endless space, Civ 5, etc), so I'm thinking of what upgrades I can treat myself to.
I currently have:
AMD 5000+ (2.3...? or 2.6 ghz?)
3gb Ram
Windows 7 (32 bit I'm pretty sure)
Nvidia 8800GT (I think its BFG, might be wrong).
What would be best bang for buck - upgrade CPU, add memory or upgrade videocard? I'm thinking of getting a Geforce GTX 280 - used for 80 bones.
Thoughts? It's not really a biiig deal, but I kinda wanna treat myself so something (I'd def buy used, try to keep it ~$100 upgrade).
Thanks guys
Edit: Oh and I have a badass Corsair power supply. It's plenty big, forget the wattage but it was quite large lol.
