Some upgrade advice [Ram, CPU, Mobo]

[MoDsOuRcEdOtNeT]

Looking to upgrade RAM,CPU and mobo for under 400 bucks CDN (348 USD)

First thoughts are to get a 3200+ (64), 2x basic 3200 400mhz ram which would run $342 ($297us).

So what advice for a motherboard, or is there better bang for the buck with a different processor and some mobo?

Thanks.

they're the ASRock 939DUAL-SATA2 which will allow you to use either a AGP or PCIe graphics card...or both ...they are not too expensive (This is a division of ASUS...value boards). From the reviews I've read they're pretty good. Check out some on the net to see if you think this is a good board. Since you pretty much don't want to go get an AGP board (if you have a agp card) since they're being phased out pretty quickly. Though if you have a PCIe video card then you'll have to wait for someone else to post...because I haven't researched any.

What "basic" PC3200 ram kit costs $297? If you only want basic, you can save money here.

I think the price he quoted was for proc + RAM.
OP, since you don't have it in your sig, what is your current setup?
