I am looking at upgrading and was wondering what some people thought. Here is what I currently have.....
MB = Abit NF7-S (ver 1.x)
CPU = AMD XP 1700
Vid = ATI 9700 Pro
Mem = Kingston Value, 512mb (2x256)
I was thinking about upgrading to
MB = MSI Neo NForce 3 250gb
CPU = AMD64 3000 or 3200 (winchester core)
Mem = Either Corsair or Mushkin
Also, do I need to upgrade my video card? If I do would it be worth waiting for NForce 4 and PCIe? Or go for the NForce 3 chipset and keep with AGP card I have? I might do a little oc'ing but haven't decided. Any help would be great.

Do you like your abit board? Abit has just come out with an nforce3 250 s754 board.<A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-127-190&depa=0" target="_new">http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-127-190&depa=0</A>
Your graphics card is still good, though now it's more middle of the road.
