I think you will be happy with a few also.

It so happens the tech support forum is supported by SocketMan who is very fluent in hardware along with many other friendly forum members, including myself.


Silencer, if you still need help....
What is your price limit?
Do you want a whole new computer or just upgrades?
Did you build this computer, or did you buy it from a company like Dell or HP?
How large is your power supply?
Do you know what your motherboard is?
Do you know if your RAM is DDR2 or DDR3?


Also, your thread title has nothing to do with the thread... consider changing it.

I'd say add +4GB of ram, change the 9400GT to a GTX460/470 1GB and make sure your PSU is sufficient, then play arma2 & profit :)

oh and if your motherboard is capable... overclock your CPU to 3ghz++ :)
