I am looking to upgrade as soon as i get some money.. Initially i wont have enough money to get a new graphics card and ram. So, right now here are my plans
ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1GHz HT Socket 939 Processor - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103537 $148.00
3200 – $166 (runs 2.0) 3500 - $201 (runs 2.2) 3700 - $213 (same as 3500 with more cache 1mb) 3800 - $282 ( 2.4 w/ 512 cache)
I have some leway in processor choices.. Although i need to keep it cheap
Currently i have a p4 2.8 with 512 cheap ram @ 333 with a FX5500
All that i want to go eventually
I dont have much room to budge on that mobo.. I need AGP and PCI-E for upgradability. My current PSU (450W) will do.
Eventually i also want,
