Whats wrong with your GTX 260? That should put you on high if not max settings for most games out. You should be able put a GTX 295 in there. The only question we would have is whats your budget and whats the model number of your power supply. (we need to see the specs to see if you power supply can handle a monster card/ SLI options) Is your dual core CPU a core 2 duo?

your right about the card so i will be replacing the CPU with this

intel Q9550= Core2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz 1333MHz Socket 775 Quad-Core 45nm Processor = 169.99

is that a good price or can i do better

The GTX 260 is a pretty good card, I would definitely upgrade the CPU first and see how things run then before upgrading the graphics card as well.

Where did you find the Q9950 for $169? I can't find it under $220. So then the answer would be yes, thats a good price.

[AF_Money]

Q9550... whatever. the number was wrong, but the price is still right

And where I got the Processor from??

The guy I purchased the PC from gave me the Number of his freind that helped him build the system and that guy is a hole seller and gave it to me at cost and said he would install it for free


And they say chivalry is dead...

He offered this before I invited them to my 800 acer hunting land next weekend all payed for by me .I feel its the least I can do
