Recommend me some upgrades

[Mikesta]

Well its almost summer and thats the time I make the most money out of the whole year and also thats when I upgrade my main gaming rig here's its current specs.

AMD XP 2400+
Asus A7N8X Deluxe rev1.04
Kingston DDR400 512MB
Apollo Geforce 4 MX 440 SE SDR :x
IBM Deskstar 40GB
Liteon 56x CD Drive


The artic silver 3 thats currently applied is about 6 months old I think when I upgrade i'll reapply it.

Give me some ideas on what to upgrade.. ANYTHING.

I'd say get another Video Card.
Preferably nVidia since them > You

Next RAM

Next DVD

Next CPU

Next Penishe

 

[RandysWay]

New graphics card, maybe another stick of RAM.

 

[Mikesta]

I was looking at the Sapphire Radeon 9800 PRO and another stick of the kingston ram.

 

[CoRPS]

Nice. then get Penishe

 

[Finsta]

What I would do:
Mobile 2500+ with Thermalright heatsink or Watercooling System
Cosair TwinX PC3500 or Mushkin PC3500 Level II
Sapphire 9800Pro or NV40/R420
Seagate Serial ATA HD

 

[Mikesta]

Why a mobile 2500+? I been thinking about watercooling for a while now.. I dont think I would get new rams just add another stick of teh current one I have.. How much does a Seagate Serial ATA HD Goes for?

 

[velocitypimp]

the mobile 2500+ because the multiplier isn't locked.

 

[Bodega]

not sure what ps you have, but upgrading to 9800pro and possibly pcu would probably mean more wattage

 

[Master [H]]

If your PSU isn't a good brand of at least 350W, I'd get that upgraded.
2nd, the best upgrade otherwise would be a new video card.

What the hell is penishe? The Jamaican drink? Or you just being an idiot?

 

[mpcamer1220]

yes what is it? and id say saphire 9800pro and get rid of the deathstar

 

[ADINSX]

id get some better cooling and overclock the processor, another stick of ram would be nice too, perhaps a new hard drive /before/ your current one decides to die

edit: eep, geforce 4 mx? might wanna look into a new video card before you get more ram

 

[specter554]

If you are a gamer get a new video card 1st. Right now 9800 PRO, depending on how long you wait you could get R420 or NV40. Also you might want another stick of 512.
