is this worth it?

what components would I have to upgrade (from my sig)

cpu, mb, ram, heatsink is what I thought, anything else?

thanks
 
It depends on your budget and what you'll be doing with the system. You can replace only the mobo and cpu and keep all your other current parts if you wanted (by going with the 775DUAL-VSTA asrock board).
 
why? just get a 7900 GS for 200 smacks..your processor is more than fine no use to spend all that money to get a new cpu, mobo, ram...
 
you would have to upgrade your ram as well to DDR2. My vote is for a vid card upgrade too ;)

Not with that asrock board. Though, I agree, upgrade the vidcard instead.
 
k well the ahem... people... ahem, above me all seem to think that you need a video card...

if your a gamer, [H]ard core vigia watcher, or even a photoshopper, then yeah a 7600GS, 7600GT, a nice all in wonder card, or anything with Avivo, would be a good upgrade.

but if your just looking to encode videos, or something thats totally not GPU intensive...

i guess its all relative, I'm guessing the most performance kick youll see will be about 15%. now thats either a gigantic number or a tiny one, depending on what you do.
