Should I build a new gaming computer?
I currently have an Dell XPS 600
Dual core processor (2.8ghz) 1 gig ddr2 ram PCI Express x16 2 slots, geforce 6800 sli ready 160gb hd, dont know the speed sound blaster x-fi sound card 19" lcd monitor I ran the 3dmark03 test on this thing and i only yielded like 2500 points, which is really crappy. Do you think I should just upgrade this thing or build my own computer? Thanks |

Remember that benchmarks don't use the computer, you do. If the system plays your games and runs your applications, why bother with an upgrade? But if you feel that the system is lacking, then look into an upgrade.
