Hello team,
My current CPU Configuration is as follows (3years old) :
AMD ATHLON II X2 250 3.0 GHZ dual core processor
Nvidia Geforce 210 1GB Graphic card
Gigabyte M68MT-S2P Motherboard
2GB DDR3 RAM
500 GB SEAGATE INTERNAL HARD DISK DRIVE
iBall Cabinet - Entizer with SMPS

The above configuration does not support latest games like battlefield 3, NFS Rivals, etc even with minimum specs. Hence i wanted to know would it be worth in upgrading RAM to 4GB and investing in a decent graphic card or starting to assemble my PC from scratch. Please advise. Also it would be helpful if you could recommend some components that i should go for considering the above configuration. Awaiting Reply.

Other than the hard drive, your current system does not appear to contain any parts worth saving, although you might be able to suffer with the CPU in an AM3+ build for a while. Do that only if money is limited, as "suffering" is probably a good way to describe how its performance would make you feel.
Your graphics card isn't suitable for games, the motherboard is ancient and obsolete, and as far as I know iBall offers PSU-shaped objects in the same league as Apevia and Logisys.
I would suggest posting a thread in the New Builds section, using the sticky on "How to ask for New Build Advice" in order to answer all of the questions we're likely to have.
