now, i'm not old enough for a job. so I need to be careful about what I make my parents choose when they buy me pc parts. I wanted to future proof my pc for unreal 3, at the moment I have a geforce 6800 vanilla, amd 2500+, and 512 mb pc 2700. my ram and cpu are bottlenecking. and my motherboard only supports up to 3000+. so I need 64-bit. now, is 939 a good socket? or should I get 940? since unreal 3 is coming around, I need to know if I will need PCI-E, what kind of processer would I need, how much ram, ect. and how much it would cost. (I might get this stuff around christmas, and my dad might be getting a job that pays him $20+ an hour. lol 😛) so I might not have to worry too much about pay, since my dads a big geek aswell.

thanks. please reply!
 
given you sound like a budgeteer, 939 is the way to go.

Get a DFI Ultra-D, AMD ADA3200BIBOX, an ATi X800 XL, and a gig of G.Skill cas2 value ram.
 
future professing and hardware does not exist 😉 There is ALWAYS something that is new and about to come out. It is just the way it is.

edit:

oh and your 2500+ is still very respectable. You'll do much better to get another 512 stick of pc3200 and then later upgrade other things
