Hi, every time I've been thinking of upgrading I've come here and as a result I've always been happy with whatever I've bought. I have a Dell Dimension 4700. I replaced the RAM with 2 gigs of DDR2 266mhz RAM, kept the P4 3ghz processor, new hard drives, a radeon x1800xt, new psu. I'm wanting to upgrade as the processor is really bottlenecking the system. I was thinking of adding these to the mix and would love to hear your advice:
