Title: Upgrading my computer seeing as I have to upgrade to play Starcraft II
Post by: A Bit of Fruit on July 22, 2010, 10:55:10 PM

but I haven't bought a graphics card in like 4 years. I know i'll need to upgrade my motherboard to use a PCI-E video card but I don't know if i'll need to get a new CPU. Right now these are my specs:

Pentium 4 3.0GHz
512 DDR2 RAM
Geforce 6200

I wonder if it's worth getting a new CPU along with the new motherboard, what do you guys reckon? Also I have no idea which video card is good...
