Help.Need To Upgrade My Rig

[jawadrashid]

I wanted to know is it possible that my current rig be upgraded so i can be able to play current game atleast on the lowest setting or will i have to change my whole setup including new motherboard,cpu,card,ram and casing etc.. The reason i am asking is that i was wondering that is it possible that i increased my ram to 2GB(On My Current AMD only DDR1 is supported) and change my vga card and still be able to play game or will i have to buy totally new setup because in that case i will probably require atleast a budget of 50,000 or more.

u will still be able to play games on your rig... i don't think upgrade is necessary if u donot have the cash...

If i decide to change VGA Card only and maybe upgrade my ram from 1.5 to 2 GB what VGA Card should i go for with my current configuration? Budget in this case is flexible and i can spend if needed greater than 10K .

I do have cash but i just started work few months ago and i don't want to spend majority of that on a 50K System i may think about that down the line in maybe a year or two later but now i would prefer if i don't spend that much right now.

Any Suggestions to the last post?

u have AGP slot and current cards are PCI-e so its a waste if u buy VGA or anything else... i would say donot upgrade anything, buy a new PC

Going high on AGP is unwise. Get a X1650 Pro or 7600gs for around 5500-6000rs. It should handle most games at med. settings and low resolutions. At least, you would be able to play 'em.

Or, you could look for a used high-end card(like I am) and grab it cheap.

Agreed with Rafay. No use in spending on High end AGP cards

But can i install these vga cards(X1650 Pro or 7600gs or any other card in the range you mentioned) on my current system or will i have to buy a new rig for these cards also?

These are AGP cards so they will sit in the AGP slot on your existing motherboard in place of your 6200.

Check here at galaxy for available AGP cards:
www.galaxy.com.pk
HIS X1650Pro 512M IceQ is available here at 5800rs, this is recommended in this price range.

Also try from AGN, they also have AGP cards, both NVidia and ATI. They might have cheaper prices.

yes u can install them... but if buy a new PC then 'll have to get a new VGA card

like Abdul Rafay says, better collect cash fornew sys, no use spending on the AGP, cause upgrading you card will also require a new PSU as well.
