Motherboard: Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813131028

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819115004

Memory: Corsair XMS 1GB DDR2 800 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820145566 I'm actually running 2gb but at a slower speed.

Video Card: EVGA Nvidia 7600gt http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130017

Thats pretty much it for now.
Just seeing if anyone has any upgrade ideas and can send me any links. Mainly play games like Wow and some FPS every now and then.

Thanks!

If you're runn 2x1 GB of DDR2 667 in dual channel, i'd probably keep it. If not i'd go with 2x1 GB of DDR2 800 1.8v RAM $33 after rebate

Make sure you have a quality 450w power supply and add a graphic card.
HD4850 $140 after rebate

Hi, forget the gt7600 because radeon 4850 will blow it into the upper stratosphere. And yes, PCIE 2.0 card will work in standard PCIE and I dont think you will notice any difference
