i need some help again .. upgrade suggestions

[jetjaguar]

ok ive been changing my mind constantly .. but here i am .. sli i wanted to do originally but i doubt i would ever get a second video card since i would prolly just upgrade to a newer one .. so sli is pretty much out ..

here is my current system

2.4C @ 3.4
2x512 corsair xms pc3500
abit ic7 motherboard
9700 pro (i know sucks)

so should i upgrade or not .. nforce 4 is around the corner .. but it just seems like maybe i should switch out my motherboard and video card and i should be good ... i game somewhat .. i play cs source .. hl 2 .. WoW ..
but im not gaming like 24/7 ...

the only things i was thinking of adding would be a sound card since im running onboard sound right now .. some better speakers ... maybe some headphones .. and a 74gb raptor .. what do you guys think .. seriously

thanks

all I'd say is to grab a 9800 pro. I got the 9800 all in wonder and it works good for me. I bet that'll keep you goin for a couple more years.

I think your setup is more than decent.. seriously I'd be freakin' happy if I had a 9700.. get yourself a sound card and a nice set of speakers..

all that stuff costs way too much at the moment...your setup is fine

hmmm .. so u think just getting a better graphics card and ill be fine ??
and a sound card .. and say screw upgrading for awhile .. im wondering if i watercool my p4 maybe i could hit higher .. or should i just swap motherboards to an ic7 max3 ?

if you're looking for a semi-cheap sound card that works good, I'd suggest the Turtle beach santa cruz.
