Hi, well in my situation yet I am wondering if I should upgrade or wait.
I am working between 10-20 hours a week and I earn 10$ per hours.
I got an old ass computer simple core bogh in january 2006 befor the dual core become availlable in canada.
Mother Board: PC-Chips P25G 2.8Ghz
Ram: Two Bars of 1GB each Total of 2GB of ram
Video Card: ATI Radeon 9600 serie 256MB of ram 128Bit.
Power-supply: 380Watt Heavy Duty (Discontinued) Support up to 550Watt.
Hard Drive: 230GB

I am wondering if I should wait to buy a Quad core in a year's or take 300$ change the following parts.
Power-Supply: 750Watt
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD4670
Hard Drive: Add: 1TB.

This hard for me to decide becaus if I upgrade this old dinosaure I know Its a waste of money but I dont have the money to buy a Quad core yet.
Wha should I do with that?

You got 2 options really.

1) Wait a year and get a hex core (it'll be much more mainstream then, but you can grab a quad core if you're on a budget).

2) Build a quad core computer now (or you can get a hex core, but AMDs Phenom II X6 isn't that great for gaming at the moment if that's what you're getting a computer for).

Your computer really isn't worth upgrading anymore.

I'd say, build yourself a new computer.

Build my own computer will cost me about 1200$ without the OS and all accessories.
As I said I only have a summer job of 10-20 hours a week.
I have to pass my driving license this years wich is 400$-600$.
Six Core is good but I already have seen a 8 Core computer.
I have a little budget yet because I am woking in the weekend only.
So I should wait to build a Quad or Six Core.
Well I will care of your comment and wait till I get a job of 40 hours a week.
This actual computer will move to a room in my home and will be a futur Lan server.

Hey bro, the average computer in America are still dual core era, people would think you are mad running a hex core already.
a $1200 computer is already top of line, who the fuck pays full price for a OS these days when there are already free OS ( LINUX/GNU), and just re-use accessories for all you care, hard drives, dvd drive, card reader, mouse, keyboard, wireless card, etc

I have an old computer 32Bit Supported and I need all the accessorie for this computer both computer will run and be used.
Use Linux for a gaming PC are you serious?
This is a suicide just to think about all the crap you have to instal on Ubuntu to run a window aplication game.
I prefer to pay for a License then crack a damn bugged window version.
I live in Canada 1200$ is the minimum for a decent computer without screen and all other accessories in the Quad Core.

Hey bro, because Window 7 is fucking $100 everyfucking where right?
just go dig up some old keyboard or something.
a $1200 build ( $1100 aprox without the GST or whatever) can do great. even is quad-core base, unless your retailer is a piece of shit.

Buddy, that computer will perform hardly any better than my $600 one ($500 after rebates (which I actually haven't gotten back yet)). You have to learn how to work on a budget. For one, you don't need watercooled anything. Secondly, you don't need a 850W PSU, just get the corsair 650TX, which is like $80. Additionally, you don't need a 295/480/5970 or whatever you were planning on getting for a GPU, just get a 5770/5850/5870. And if you're gaming, you don't need 8GB RAM, that much only goes to use if you're rendering shit in 3D. A TB HDD is not $150, and CD drives are not anywhere near $50, especially not separate burner/player. If you want to exaggerate prices to throw your total build cost up, be my guest, but you should really just build a whole new computer.

If you're working 20hrs/wk, and you make $10/hr, then you're earning $200/wk. Save up for two weeks, add that to your current $300, and you're fucking golden.

Why the fuck would you buy a 2GB Video Card

I dont think you have a 30+ inch screen

Watercooled? Seriously ? I doubt your going to overclock

DVD Burner is not fricken $50 in Canada, I know I live here

Heck go to newegg.CA

you will be shocked to see the low prices

And there are other ways to get Windows 7 for free, and no not buggy
