Hi everyone!!!!!!

I am upgrading my PC but don't know what I need!
I need a faster PC so what CPU and mother board??? Would like 3GHz prossecor

I want to keep some of my parts;

Raddon 9550 256 mb VIDEO CRAD AGP
40 & 160GB Hard Disks
DVD rom Drive
DVD wr Drive
Floppy Drive
USB 2.0

Thats about it! What other things will I need???


Thanks, Skeet
 
CPU - AMD 64 3200+ $160 Don't be fooled by the GHz, this will kill most P4s in gaming.
Motherboard -MSI K8N NEO-F $80 Very solid motherboard
Video Card - eVGA 6800GS $169 -$15 mail in rebate good till the end of the month. Yours will not cut it in most modern games. The video card is arguably the most important part in gaming systems, and this fits in your budget. This card has the one of the best price to performance ratios of any card out there.
RAM - 1GB Corsair ValueRAM $70. If you could post what RAM you currently have, I can determine if this is necessary.
Total = about $480 -shipping

This would be a pretty solid build, able to last for a while.

Oh, and what kind of PSU do you have?
 
if you're gonna be gaming just do vybuni's building although you dont want a new one, the 9550 is not going to cut it anymroe.

thats great!!! I need a mother board that will do AGP graphics cards

I realize that the 9550 is AGP, but I dealt with that by replacing it with a new one, one that is MUCH more powerful. The one I listed is fully compatable with the motherboard I posted.

What kind/amount/speed RAM do you have and what is your PSU?
