my specs are

XFX Geforce 7900 GS Extreme Edition 256mb Pci Express (ViD Card)
AMDAthlon X2 Dual Core 4200 2.2gz (CPU)
2 gigs PC3200 Ram
120 Gig HD
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (Mobo)


I just got the vid card. However I was wondering the opinions of others as to what else should be upgraded, and to what part. This is a Gaming PC, to play things like COD2, BF2, WoW, F.E.A.R. etc.

For Reference I went from an ATI X800 to the 7900 GS. I went with GS because as price went, it was affordable (330 with tax in Canada), also after reading Reviews, It kept up with x1900's and the GT models of the 7 series.

Maybe your HDD so you can put MORE games on it. But your rig already runs everything that you throw at it

I'd do some overclocking on the CPU if I were you, 2.6 should be very easy with that chip.
