upgrade graphics card or CPU and RAM?
- Thread starter Speculant
- Start date
Their motherboard is ok and has a PCI-E slot and Athlon X2 support so they hardly need to upgrade everything. I assume it's this one as it's the only K9NU Neo on the MSI site. http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K9NU_Neo-V&class=mb

You don't need to change everything. Get a video card such as the 8800GS, HD3850, 9600GT, HD3870 or the 8800GTS (G92) and a 1GB of RAM and you're set. If you feel you need more power, upgrade your CPU to an X2. 
Or, you may save a bit more and get a whole new upgrade (mobo/cpu/ram) which would be much better.

I'd go with that option. Put together an Intel build with some DDR2 800 RAM. Otherwise, a new GPU would be bottlenecked by your current configuration.
