What to do!!? (gamer-PC spice-up)

[areschoug]

I got a:
AMD 2500+
512 DDR
Radeon 9600 PRO 255

What Im thinking here is if I should do a upgrade or buy new stuff.

1. I get 1Gig more RAM and a good AGPx8 card

2. I buy everything new ..but then I can only afford the cheap stuff like an x700 and 512 RAM

What to do!?

Get only 512 more ram and a 6800GS or 6800 plain (6600GT will be ok too if over $150 is over your budget). Most 2500+'s can be OC'd easily to a 3200+ as long as the mobo can do 200fsb, so you can try that. Save money for 6 mos or so and buy an M2 system.

X700 is hardly better than your 9600 so you're not getting anything there.
