BudgetPc upgrade help choosing parts!

[neonzion]

Hey guys,
Well the time is coming to do another upgrade, so far i was building a pc and it is unfinished:

Amd Athlon X2 240 @2.9ghz =P
Wintec 2gb Ddr2 single stick
Coolermaster 101a cooler
random hp case
Biostar Mcp6p motherboard
Generic 550watt psu
Samsung 80gb sata drive
cd-rom, dvd-rom drives
Nvidia Gefore 6150se onbaord gpu
ok i have $130 for upgrade and I dont mind buying used so... first i have to say, i hate my motherboard... it sucks and i wanted to overclock at least 3.8ghz but the overclocking on the motherboard is horrible... Heres my question: what should i buy next, i can either buy only the graphics card, or i can buy new psu, sell mobo and by another, buy 500gb hd, and more ram... Second, if you guys think I should buy graphics card, what should i get gtx 260 or 5770? since im running generic 550watt idk if gtx 260 would work but i really really want it.... if not ill get 5770, and yes i can get a gtx 260 for $130.... if i dont buy my graphics card now, then i willgo for: new psu, more ram, new mobo, and 500gb hd... im really desperate to start gaming after i sold my other gaming pc 6 months ago.... and the 6150se is not cutting it for now....

Last option, since the gtx 260 is old and the 5770 has dx11, should i just wait until august or so for nvidia to release sub $200 cards for example a gtx 450, or gtx 440 (just an prediction)

Thanks in advance

I think you should take a look at these mobo's

Also your best bet for a good psu on your budget is one of the OZC ModXtreme or Fatality

The 5770 is nice and uses little power but if you can get a gtx 260 cheap go for it.

So are you saying i should go for the gtx 260... remember i can get them for the same price, also remember if i buy graphics card now, i cant buy a new power supply or motherboard... so would a gtx 260 even run off a generic power supply?

I wasn't aware you could get the 5770 for the same price.
I would buy the 5770 it's a better card imo.
In the future you can't go wrong with my mobo/psu recommendations.
Those mobo's oc very well and the psu's are all 80+, modular, and quiet.

Looking at everything you have, have you considered starting over? The only thing I see worth keeping is the Athlon IIx2 240 and the DVD-RW
