I want to upgrade a few parts to tide me over till next year when I buy a totally new computer. What do you think I should add for now, what part is my weakest link? I typically like to just get the bare essentials ($600-800) and just replace a few parts in a year, then have enough to get a new rig the following year. This is what I have now:
Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT-UD2H AM3 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
OCZ Fatal1ty 550W Modular Gaming Power Supply compatible with Intel Sandybridge Core i3 i5 i7 and AMD Phenom
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D-4GBHK
AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8GHz Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Black Processor HDZ720WFGIBOX
GIGABYTE GV-N240D5-512I GeForce GT 240 512MB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
I'm thinking about the video card and ram? I primarily use my comp for work but also for light gaming once in awhile, might need more ram to have everything I want open at the same time. Currently feeling a lot of framerate lag in come MMOs I play.
Thanks!
