Most of you probably don't know who i am [haven't been on in like 2 years]. but oh well. i picked up warhammer online a few weeks ago, and didn't find out it had a free month *facepalm*. Well i need to know what i should upgrade. I'm thinking my graphics card because it's one of the few that WAR doesn't support [7300gs].

Processor:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.2GHz[ running at 3.5]

Memory:
1022MB RAM

Video Card:
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS

Operating System:
Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2

so what should i switch out for something new?

Jesus christ its Shevrock; ****ing god sakes I missed you. Get a 9800GT if your comp supports PCI-E if not tough luck. Proccessor I recommend the AMD X2 7750 Kuma. RAM get 2-3 gigs. GL HF FU

I'm on a really small budget. i mean under 50. i'm thinking maybe a 9400gt. will that work? also i can support PCI-E and my CPU is AM2. can i put an AM2+ in the AM2 slot?

You aint gonna get much for under $50 =\

my recommendation: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150245

Yah better saving up for now.

8500gt will play the game but not on good settings, maybe low and a little on medium depending on the resolution

Also you cpu is very old and outdate. A dual core is what you need. and I don't believe you when you say a 2.2ghz is oced to run at 3.5ghz. 3500+ doesn't mean 3.5ghz.

I was thinking more along the lines of that. Is it better? So just to clarify I need to upgrade my GFX card first.

9500 GT is the equivilant of a 8400 GS so your better off with the 8500

1k ram is a bit low also.. but then again im pretty much a noob on specs/upgrading pc =p last time i upgraded my video card + ram i wouldve messed up my computer if they didnt told me my power suply was to bad lol.

currently running WAR on balanced settings 4x AA, 16x AS and in 1280x1024 res with a 2.6ghz dual core, geforce 7900gs and 2k ram. it runs well but with massive orvr battles it has a very hard time keeping smooth fps so i think i got about the minimum specs to enjoy this game well.

well since hes only running XP, the 1gb isnt going to cripple him that much
