Hey folks I am trying to update my rig as cheaply as possible, but still gaining a decent preformance boost. First here is what I have:

Nvidia 8800 GTS 640 MB
asus a8n5x(socket 939, using PC3200)
AMD 64 3500+ @2.2
1.5 GB Ram Not that exact set but that type-->http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820144055
Spoundblaster X-Fi xtreme-Gamer
Other than that I have some decent DVD drives, a few HDD, all packaged in some crappy case.

So here is what I was thinking. If I really wanted a decent upgrade I would have to go New MB, New CPU, and New ram...thats too expensive right now. I think I found some upgrads I could do on my set:
CPU --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductRevie...N82E16819103053
RAM--> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820211014

Both these arent as expensive as the future upgrades would be. I am hopeing for something that I can play newer games without being on medium/low settings.
Ill be perfectly honest I dont know much about ram, and that set linked is the cheapest 2GB of ram that newegg had that would fit in my MB.

Thanks in advance,
BK
