My RAM is fine until next gen pc games come out. I'm getting a dvd-rom drive possibly even a dvd burner. Turns out there was a little knob on the back that I accidentally bumped and it turned of the fan so I'm good now. pretty much all I want is a video card and some fancy lights and stuff to make my pc pretty. All I need to make my videocard reccomended for battlefield 2 is 256mb of ram. Is it even worth it?
EDIT: would this video card be good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102688

That's a good budget card. If you have $300, why not get a x1900xt? (I think like $240 after MIR, which leaves you 60 bucks to get a DVD drive and maybe some cathode lights for the case.)

because im spending $130 on games and stuff so I only have...$170 left for a video card.
