Need Upgrading Suggestions

[cyrax]

Ok, I just opened up my system, and now I know what I've got.

Intel Celeron 2.4GHz
128mb PC2100 RAM x2, 256mb PC2100 RAM (512mb total)
Gecube Radeon 9600 Pro 256mb
ASUS DRW-1608P DVD/RW
WD 40gb + 80gb hard drives
Compaq 240w PSU

Everything else is some kinda stock HP crap, I'm pretty sure the mobo is and the case is too. I'm really looking to up my FPS in CS:S mainly, I get about 20-40fps in it, but sometimes I go as low as 5-10fps. Anyone got any suggestions on what to change, or if I shold just get a whole new rig?

whole new rig plus that PSU is a bit small, PM me for help with that rig if you want it

he has optical drives & that already. Look, dont rip XFX unless you have personally RMA'ed one, they are high end cards in the southern hemishere & evga is not available.

Other than that & the WD hard drive you cynical fanboys should be happy, dual core is just too expensive
