Before I go any further,
abit IP35-E motherboard
Nvidia 8800GS video card
2gb Ballistix DDR2 ram *pc 800 i believe*
Seagate Barracuda 300gb HD
Corsair 450w PS


I am having a problem that I believe is my MOBO. Getting the CMOS errors, checksum errors, Keyboard not detected errors. I also have problems with the audio and it keeps telling me over and over that I unplugged/plugged a jack into the computer.

I replaced the CMOS battery and nothing changed. Sometimes this thing wont even POST I have to manually restart it 4-5 times.

Anyway, I have a big case, I want to keep my HARD DRIVE....what could be a decent UPGRADE from my current set up?

Looking at spending 600 dollars TOTAL.


I game occasionally, just figured I'd just get a new MOBO/GPU/RAM and start fresh
