A better upgrade path

Hello guys,

I'm planning on getting a new hardware while I have some cash available :D
Which upgrade path do you think will give me a better performance boost in games ?

My current system is:

P4 2.6 @ 3.25 (FSB 667, PAT: Enabled, 1Gb OCZ Platinum rev.2 RAM)
Abit IS7 mobo
Radeon 9800Pro

So, I could buy either:

1. GeForce 6800GT and keep my current system

or

2. AMD64 3000+ (overclock to 3500+ speed) and Neo2 Platinum mobo (geForce3 Ultra chipset) and keep my current video card.

Right now I'm leaning more towards buying a new video card, because 6800GT is a much better card compared to 9800PRO. Hell, even my TI 4600 is better in CS 1.6 than Radeon. LOL


Thank you

Best regards...

Definitely #1. Your current system is fast enough as it is, and having new cpu/mobo won't really boost your 9800 that much more. The 6800 will blast away.
