i want to upgrade. my computer is like 3 years old and it is in one of those small form factor cases. i really dont like it because most games i cant even play. i bought fear for myself on christmas and i knew that i would have to put it in lowest settigs but ten later it it got all choppy and i couldnt even play. i have only ben playing bf2 right now but i want to start playing guildwars,hl2, cs nd some other games. thanx i can go to 1000 but i kinda want to have it like at 800 or 850, thanx
 
If you can possibly go for $1000 budget, then you'll be able to get alot of system for that price range. That seems to be the beginning point for a system that really has some kick to it, without compromising too much..
 
Well I would use a make a system like this under 800$

75$ Atop gladator case w 450W PSU
120$Athlon64 3000+ SKT 754
60$ Biostar Mobo 6100 w pci-express
65$ 1GB Gskill Ram
96$ 250GB HD Western Digital
190$ 7600GT
37$ Nec DVD-Rw

That makes the total price about 650$, it should run all games fine, and leaves you with alittle money left over.
 
I'm currently buying parts for a system of a similar purpose and budget.

$170 x850xt
$84 250gb Maxtor Diamondback 10 HDD (on sale at newegg)
$50 Good power supply 400 watts or more (check the thread in the PSU forum for best bang for the buck PSUs)
$212 AMD Athlon 3700+
$90 Case Thermaltake Soprano or one you like for that price
$67 Gskill value RAM
$40 NEC DVD Burner
$92 Biostar TForce N4U

Total: $801
 
I would get an Antec Sonata 2 case. The smart power PS should be more than enough.
 
Things I would aim for:

Antec Case + PSU Combo
Biostar Tforce 754
2800+ Sempron 754
2 GIG G.Skill
7900GT
$100 WD or Seagate HD

That cpu can be overclocked to atleast 2.0 on stock heatsink, its a awsome value.
