I need some upgrading help. I am going to up grade my PC tomorrow. I am kind of on a budget so I am not going to upgrade the whole PC. I know that I would like to upgrade the processor, video card and motherboard. is there any thing else you think really needs to be upgraded ? here is my PC specs asus a7m266 mother board amd thunderbird 266 1400mhz amd athlon socket a coler 512 ddr pc2100 ram cooler master atc200 w/300w power supply IBM 60gxp 6ogb ata 100 7200rpm teac 1.44mb 3/ 1/2 drive Toshiba 16x DVD 48 x CD-ROM w/out decoder sigma designs realmagic hwood +decoder plextor plexwriter ide 16x10x40 creative labs sb live platinum 5.1 dlink dfe-530tx 08-td1 visionteck geforce 3 agp
Okay well what are you planning on using it for, where do you like (so we don't pick out components on an American site when you live in Australia for instance) and how much do you want to spend? A conservative upgrade would be an ASUS AV8-E motherboard, a 3000+ AMD 64 processor, and an X800GT video card. If that's too much to spend I'd be happy to ratchet it down but for a good gaming rig that's a nice place to start at least. And if you get a new motherboard I would highly recommend getting PC3200 or higher DDR ram. A gig would be nice but if you can't afford it 512 will do.
