well u can see in my sig what im running, I am thinking about grabing a sound card and some diffrent RAM and was thinking about getting a second 7800GT, but might just guy a 8800GTX instead... anyways with my current setup, the RAM wont let me OC that well, and onboard sound just well you know lol. I am looking at these

Sound

RAM

I am just trying to get this thing up a lil bit, and dont want any bottlenecking, that being said should I be working on a new system instead of adding to mine? was thinking about going all out and building a dual core system and getting all new stuff, this current one just doesnt feel fast anymore.

Any suggestions for additions? PS I do plan on getting a 8800GTX in the near future. however will my CPU restrict its power?
 
What are you doing that makes you feel your system is slow? That system should be more than enough for a gamer with a 19" screen :p I really see no need for anything else right now. If you just have money to spend, then go for a new system. Though, I still think your system has at least another year left in it of high performance.
 
ya was thinkin about selling the vid card and getting a 8800 in a couple months or so. the sound card is just a lil bump, I just want to have good card in there, and the RAM is better, I just feel I cut corners on the RAM and Audio for my PC... its like I just spent alot of money building this, and I payed alot for each component and then got cheap RAM and didnt get a sound card? I mean I know its not going give me like a huge boost if any, but just figured I would finish it while parts are cheaper than they were when I built this thing.
 
okay so that RAM just disapeard of of Newegg lol, anyone have a good suggestion, I want the best 2x1GB sticks for this MOBO ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe...
 
I wanna be able to OC pretty well, and yah ur right, egg hunt indeed, all of the RAM is disapearing lol.the second set just went out of stock last night... >_< I gotta not think and buy next time I guess...
 
I'd go with these:
$235 - Patriot 2GB (2x1GB) DDR-500 PDC2G4000ELK @ 3-4-4-8

It's timings are similar to my OCZ Plats :D (see sig)
 
I think I would trust ocz over patriot... I am prob going with the second choice when they are available again. Seem like some good sticks.
 
Hehe... PDP makes great ram. I use both, and I have no complaints.
