i have a budget of $230 to spend - no more...

Currently i have:
Sempron 2800+ 333fsb, MSI KT4AV, 1GB DDR333, ATI 9600XT

Im thinking of a $215 combo that includes a EPoX EP-9NDA3J Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce3 Ultra and a A64 3000+ Venice.

or should I upgrade to maybe a 6800 or 6600GT, or perhaps another ATI flavor. Im not sure which would yield better performance.

Im playing Half-Life2/CS:S and would like to play BF2 but my system cant play it with all the eye candy that makes it any better than BF1942.

Any suggestions?
 
ooo, that's a toughy...I'd say get a new board, but I mean if you're going to get a new board might as well go PCI-e, but then you'd need a new video card...
 
You can save, and upgrade to a X2 when you have enough saved....
 
for ~$230, I'd get the newer processor and mobo, then save up for a better video card. It's probably better to wait and get a new mobo with PCI-E and then get a PCI-E video card at the same time.

You can't get a new motherboard, new processor, and new video card for $230, well not anything better than he's got at least.
