Specs as stated in signature....first new beast in 7 years! Just got rid of my Athlon2400+/1GBRAM/Radeon9700

It's not a super gaming machine or anything, so any suggestions on upgrades for the first 6 months?
 
Don't get it, you just built a system and are asking for upgrade suggestions? Clarify yourself, we don't read minds.
 
its a system built with a budget ;)
id like another 500gb hd, another 4gb ram, hd4850 crossfire
 
Looks decent as for upgrade, You need the space? Going raid? What raid setup you considering? For ram, If you see yourself using up all 4gb worth, go for it. Same with crossfire, really depends on what res you are currently playing on, I see its a sammy so its either 1680 or 1920, It also depends if your struggling playing games at desired settings.

Overclock that thing if you already own it! 2.8-3.0ghz should just be a matter of luck (Chip wise) and tweaking :D
 
I still don't get it, you're asking for suggestions to upgrade within a 6 month period starting from now? If so that's ridiculous, utterly stupid to be thinking so far ahead. In 6 months there will most probably be a new GPU release, new CPU release, new chipset release, new ram standard (ddr3), hell maybe SSDs will become mainstream by some miracle. When you decide to upgrade again we will probably have redid our recommendations list. Post when you upgrade, not a 6 months wish-list - it just doesn't work in this sector.
 
Good build.. Atleast you went with the higher AMD Phenom I. Should be decently comparable to the Phenom II series

Not even close. You're looking at 9850 and 9950 overclocked for comparison; 9650 won't touch that.
