Hey, I'm tring to upgrade.

[seamoo]

Alrite here my thing last summer I built my current computer for $250, and now i'm and a little problem I can't run most modern games i.e. Elder scrolls IV with out a crash or terrible lag or something random like that so I tring to firgue out a meduim perforemance system that will last me abit. my most important thing is time to the next upgrade for the dollar.
Right now I have:

MachSpeed Venom V2DP soc A mATX
AMD Duron 1.8Ghz CPU
Connect3D Radeon 7000 / 64MB DDR
WD-120GB/7200/8MB/ATA-100
Viking 512MB PC3200 DDR 400MHz Memory*2
A nice little mATX case with a 350watt
DVD-Rom, and i'm on wireless if that matters.

So I'm thinking I have to upgrade my Video card, and problay my motherbroad and CPU. Any ideas I was kinda thinking a Geforce 7300 but not quite sure i don't really have an idea for MB and CPU.
My bugdet is around $300-400 maybr alittle more but cheaper the better

thats a good build. but consider this.

MSI K8N Neo4
Gefore 6800
AMD 64 3200, or 3000.

Get a cheap mobo like john said, the MSI board. That 7600 gs flashdude suggested looks good, but you could save 30 bucks and instead get a 6800 XT. This is at a nice price:
