I've got a custom built computer that I built earlier last year. I'm want to do some upgrading soon and I want opinions on what to upgrade. Just so you know I use my computer for some light gaming (Call of Duty) and heavy video editing (Adobe CS4).

Current Set Up

OS: Vista Ult SP1 54bit
CPU: Intel Quad Core Q660 [email protected]
Memory: Corsair XMS2 DDR2 4 Gigs
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 512MB
MOBO: GIGABYTE EP45-UD3R
PSU: Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS

I believe that's it, and please keep it realistic, I'm a soon to be college kid who makes 7.25 an hour working for Hobby Lobby so I'm not a millionaire.

Thanks For your help!!!

Bodaggit23, thanks for the fast reply!

Memory: I have 2x2 and I haven't had any problems with them so I think I will go with corsair again.

PSU: YES, i really need a new PSU, I have had nothing but problems with Roswell, thanks for the recommendation.

GPU: I need this Card.

I like your recommendations on upgrades for me, and around 300 for all this is not bad at all. Thanks again.
