[Sharkie]

Ok apologies if I dont follow the standard format for asking for help but just interested in different opinions on how to improve this pc. Just looking at a couple different options rly.

I currently have....
Horrible grey 3 year old case
PSU is Dell L350P-00 (350W)
Gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2 motherboard
AMD Athlon LE-1640 2.61Mhz (AMD Fan)
1 stick of 512 Ram
ATI Radeon X700 Series (dual monitors running off this)

Whatever the max amount of RAM your system can handle, that should be the first upgrade (unless a whole new system is an option).

I have the same board with the same processor running 2 gig of ram and the onboard gfx card. I can run almost anything with it. I have the processor running at 3109 with nvidias control panel so I would say the ram would make a huge difference. If you use Ntune to oc your cpu Just for your info it will not go over 230 everytime i do it scrambles my screen and i have to reboot

Yeah. As far as improving goes I'd say RAM. Then CPU and vid card (if you use games, otherwise yours is probably plenty.)

Personally I'd only go as high as the 6000+ dual core for that motherboard. If you can do more than that, I'd say do a whole new system.
