Upgrading My PC?

[m0nk3ys1ms]

Ok, I wanna upgrade my PC with new games coming out and Vista and such. What would you guys recommend I do. I need a new motherboard as my IDE port on my one I have now is screwed. I was thinking another GB of RAM at least. What else would you guys recommend.

A better PSU. Another gig of memory would give you a boost for sure.

Well it depends on what games you want to play, if you want to play Crysis, then your CPU and graphics is nowhere near up to scratch, however if you just want to play less demanding games then adding more RAM should be enough, and/or upgrade your graphics card to at least 7900GT or something. Most really new games will need at least a dual core system to enable it to run in its full glory.

How about upgrading to a Core 2 Duo mobo and CPU?

I myself would get another system and then use your present one for half of your computing purposes and then use a new one for gaming and whatever else. I would recommend dual core and a better graphics card for what you want though (ie 7900). Depends on how much money you want to spend.
