What do you guys think is the weakest link in my system and what should be upgraded to see the largest performance increase.

I mainly use this system to play World of Warcraft (WoW).

I have an upgrade budget of about $500.

My system is detailed in my signature.
 
CPU and MOBO will be one of the biggest. 2nd thing would be video card but w/e
 
i would suggest that maybe you upgrade to socket am2. the price cuts are a big plus, but you would need to get new memory as well [am2 needs ddr2]. unfortunately, i really dont know much about good am2 parts, someone help me out.

if you want to keep your ram then you could go with socket 939 parts. theyre cheap and still very good.

939 parts:
asus a8n-sli premium: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131540
4400+ x2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103546

about $393 [not w/shipping]. this could give you room to upgrade your video card, but not much.....you'd want to save up some money
 
I would like to stay on the 939 platform for now so I don't have to buy new ram.

I was thinking about maybe upgrading the MB and Video card.
 
if u change mobo you have to change cpu ( not all the time ) but you got 3500+ XP if im correct, you will need to change Mobo in this case.
 
I have the 64 bit version. I don't think I will have to change the cpu as long as I stay on the 939 platform.
