I am looking for the most bang for my buck in order to get my old system playable on a few games list below. I realize it might be best to just drop everything and rebuild but don't have the extra money for another 9 months to make a new system. Therefore I am look for advice on best options, was guessing GPU but wanted others inputs. When gaming the GPU fan sounds like a jet (cleaned it up and everything- still the same).
