can you guys suggest any upgrades for my rig??

Im looking to get...

New.
psu
dvd-rw drive
video card
ram
and possibly a new cpu/mobo.

also I am planning on getting another 250Gb h.d.d and go raid (never done it before)

so yea well basically Im getting a new computer lol.
Im just going to buy everything little by little as I dont have much money to spend at one time but over time I can get it.

also About my bidget Im not sure but definatly not high end lol just better than what Ive got so I can stay at least somewhat ahead of some lol.

I mainly use this computer to burn/d.l big files. (on dvd-r discs)
I also play games (americas army, WoW, etc..)
so I need things that will handle all of the above
because when I play now the characters are all mis colored so Ill definatly be needing a new video card.

well thanks for reading guys and thanks for any help....
Oh p.s links to the product(s) on newegg or tigerdirect or w.e would be greatly appreciated..

thanks again.
 
Maybe look at getting a 7950 GT or a 8800 GT, GTS, Or GTX if thats in your price range.

Then maybe look at a dual core CPU?

Now for RAM I would definatly suggest getting some sort of OCZ, there awesome, HERES a link to their site (That's a link to the DDR2 section of the page.)

Well, if you're getting a new CPU/mobo, it changes a few things. Firstly, a good CPU/mobo is going to cost you about $400 more. Secondly, you need a different type of ram [if you upgrade CPU/mobo], as it would be stupid to go with anything less than a Core 2 Duo (E6420 or E6320, being released tomorrow), which uses DDR2 ram (your current CPU/mobo takes regular DDR ram).

But he needs OCZ, OCZ is flipping awesome, specialy the best one they sell, it think its 1200mhz.

well 1200 is what it cost me to put my current rig together a while back.
so I dont think Ill be spending another 1200. I mainly just want to upgrade what I have now and MAYBE get a new cpu which would mean new ram...so yea...

thanks for the input guys.
