amd phenom 8450

3 gig ddr2 geheugen

psu fortron 350 w

graphic card 3450 ati PCIe

i am gonna use to watch movies on my tv

and play videogames like fifa 2009, total war, C&C, battle for middle earth

heroes 5, age of empire,
 
Apart from the Fifa, I used to run all those @ max with a 7600GT, Amd x2.

Fifa is a gamble as I haven`t seen it yet (this weekend with any luck), but it`s 2007 version was extremely badly coded and ran like a donkey. 2008 they merely fixed it. 2009 - who knows.

Biggest question for me is how much cash u want to spend.
 
In my opinion the gtx 200 series is about the best, but the 4870x2 is getting alot of good press I've not had any expereince with it but many have and rate them, It mainly depends on your budget???
 
hmmm, I`d probably point u in the direction of the 4xxxx series ATI equivalent of what u have.

The likes of 4870 etc are going to be way more than 100€ in anycase.

I did see some newsy thing somewhere tho about Ati releasing 4450/4550 ?? cards or something. Might be worth a go.
 
ah of corse sorry overlooked that, not to be rude but do you not think a powerfuller PSU would be worth a look into???
 
Well, even if u got a nice solid - quality - 500w, it isn't going to break the bank for u, and would be more open to suggestions of cards like 4870+ without issue.
 
He is looking to spend no more than €100.. why go above that and recommend a 4870..:mad:

I would go for something like a 9600GT, they are brilliant mid-ranged cards ;)
 
sure i guess a 9600GT will do the job but, my question to the OP how longare you gona just play thm titles games and graphics move on and I feel that card will soon be struggling. no offence to anyone owning one it a good budget card. It alld epends on what the OP is likely to want in terms of the future.

However em I recommend a little more powerfull PSU and and gettign a slightly better card such as a 4870/gtx260 or better if your budget allows
 
Slightly better.. much better is the word you're looking for but at near tripple the cost mate, you have to think logically.. he has set himself a budget and that is what we have to stick too, really, can't get much simpler than that!

When it comes to telling which graphics card to buy - I always tell them get the best which is the 4870x2 (For now)

Anyways not best to come to me if you got a budget in mind. :D
 
Yeah, people are posting useless information to you.. you've stated your budget, come on guys.. what is so hard to understand that he only wants to spend €100! Jesus..

I think you're going to have to upgrade your PSU buddy, it isn't very powerful at all.

Haha, Nederlander :)
