I wonder if you guys can help me, as i dont really know what to do for the best with my desk top upgrade it, and get a whole new desktop.

I'm running Vista 64 bit with 4GB DDR 2 ram, ASRock 4Core1333-GLAN motherboard. Intel Core Quad Q6600 CPU with NVida Geforce 8500 GT graphic card.

The main use of the pc is gaming along with Internet use, so want something fast.

Any advice is very welcome..

thats about 753 USD

I would look into a single card setup maybe like a

P55M-UD2
I5 750
DDR3 - 1333 OR 1600 WITH LOW CL7

GPU HD 5850

Maybe use your old HDD PSU DVD CASE

Can you post your other parts you have ?
