That FX5500 is the weak point. Its a crap and vastly outdated card. Upgrading that alone to a decent card and your computer will be able to play any games on high settings no problem.

silvine · 13-09-2006 11:29am

Cool thanks. I have a budget of about 800 for upgrading. Can you recommend a decent graphics card? What other upgrade options should I consider for this computer on my budget?

funkedelic_bob · 19-09-2006 3:51am

I know this is finding how much your own computer is worth. But, I'm thinking of buying this rig from a friend and was wondering what you think a reasonable amount would be. (American/Canadian currency... w/e)

2.2GHz AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+
1GB PC-3200 DDR RAM

my ex gaming machine, im selling it to my boss in work who seems very intrested as hes getting back into pc gaming and ive only recently upgraded, told him the parts he needed but what i have to offer him and ive offered to build it is:

Abit AN7 Motherboard
Athlon XP 3000+ (2.2ghz)
2gb PC3200 Ram
ATI Radeon x800 Pro 256meg (AGP)

what generally would that be worth now bundled together? i told him to get a case and hdd and ill gladly build it myself if needed, basically i just need to give him a price for it.

What is a reasonably price to ask for above parts bundled together?? i was thinking €300 roughly, but i just want to make sure before i go about ripping off my boss really.. 300 would be including building fee as i enjoy building in my spare time really. that seem fair?

You can repost in the thread entitled, "How much is my computer worth?" at the top of this forum. Also selling is not allowed here but you can use adverts.ie->For Sale Adverts->Computer Hardware FS. Good luck.

L31mr0d · 23-09-2006 11:32am

I'm actually thinking I might sell my computer in the next few months and go for a laptop. Easier to move with.

Here is my current spec:

AMD Opteron 165 with Zalman 9500 Cooler
2GB Dual Channel Mushkin eXtreme DDR500
Abit AN8 SLI Fatal1ty mobo
Nvidia 6800 Ultra with Zalman 900Cu
2x250GB WD Caviar RAID 0
OCZ 700w GameXstream PSU
DVD RW
Qtec case with a few mods done to it (i.e. leds, fans, window)
Saitek Gamers Keyboard
Logitech MX610 wireless mouse
19" BenQ LCD 8ms

one other question, when selling something is including overclockability a plus or a negative to the score? I mean if I can clock my Opteron past the 180 specs does that mean I can factor that into the price? What i'm saying is would you consider having a good stepping a means to increase the selling price of it.

wow is the x6800 not worth 600 alone, they are €975 new

yeah bigger hard drives would be cool,
i have 250gigs in my mediacenter on a gigibit network so its nearly as fast as an ide drive to access it, so storage aint a problem, and if i am using a video converter i can have the source on the mediacenter and the destination on the raid0, so cpu sticks usage at 100%, i converted a 2hr divx to a dvd in 23 minutes the other day,it used to take 7hrs on my old 2ghz pc

I'd buy a brand new machine of that spec with XP and a DVDRW and a 1yr warranty for around 450-500 new off the Dell outlet. Mind you it wouldn't be a Toshiba but that gives you some idea.
