    Hi, I'm about to upgrade my PC, but only a select few things not a huge update. I want to be able to play Crysis on high settings. I am new to the whole world of pc upgrades so be patient :) I don't want to spend too much.

    -Graphics Card
    Current: Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT
    What I would like: Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 - £105/$175 - newegg.com

    RAM: 4GB

    Processor
    I want to move up to an Intel Core 2 Duo that's not to expensive, could you suggest one?

    That's all I want to upgrade, can you only put helpful comments and advice not "Omg wat a noob lol 9400 GT suckz" thanks. :)

    Btw, if there's not enough info, I'm on my laptop so can't check specs of main pc as it just had a major crash and I'm just recovering some lost files :(

    No its not enough info.
    I need your power supply brand and wattage (sticker on the power supply) you need to look at the power supply and see.

    I also need your motherboard make and model.

    Is this an oem (dell, HP, alienware, etc) pc or a custom made one?

    Also whats your current CPU.

    If you have a Pentium 4 then you can not upgrade to a core 2 duo seeing how your motherboards chipset will not read it.

    Once you post those, I will be able to better assist you.
