I have a 8400 duo core, 4 gigs ram, and a TI 550. the computer barely held it together at 8v8, but i could play. Now it is just not possible.. the stutter from lag, is just to bad and i can't aim at all.. after 4 matches and not being able to hit the board side of a barn 3/4 of the time due to the slide show..
I'am looking for a Chip/board/ram.. combo around 350.. Is there anything around this cost that might help me, or am i just SOL for that price?
I know sometimes there are some amazing deals to be found.. so i was hoping that those mech lovers out there in mech land could keep an eye out.
what about the AMD vrs Intel? i know these flip back and forth for what is the best deal.. any thoughts on what is better these days? Perhaps a board that would give me the option to drop 2 vid cards down the road would be worth spending a little extra on.., along with possibly being able to pop in a more advanced chip down the road.
So what is hot these days? I swear when you upgrade every 2-3 years, you need a complete re-education each time... I realize the sales are a few days away, but any thoughts on what i should be keeping my eye on for "value" for me, the biggest issue is the MB, what is the hot value board these days,
