Any Other Upgrades?

[MielkeHBP]

I built a computer exactly 1 year ago, and I have started to upgrade some stuff.
AMD Athlon64 3200+ Newcastle(754)
Gigabyte K8NS
BFG FX5500
1x512 Corsair Value Select
Some sound card

Upgrades So Far
ATI Radeon X700 Pro
2x1GB OCZ Platinum

I'm also starting to get into modding, Im cutting the Star Wars Imperial Symbol
into my case in a few weeks. Ive added 2 120mm Green LED Fans. Ive switched from Ribbon cables to Round cables.

I've thought about SATA lately cuz im running ata133 and I feel any difference is
still a difference, but it seems a lot of people say it's not a noticable difference.

If theres anything I can upgrade or add to my computer to make it looker cool, run cooler, and run faster then please give me some suggestions.

Although you already upgraded it, your videocard is still hindering you the most... I have no idea about possible BIOS settings, but overclocking your CPU wouldn't do any harm too, and for keeping it cool, you could use a nice ThermalTake Blue Orb II (has a built in blue led and is virtually silent), although that one costs a lot of money...

Xoxide.com has a whole range of nice cold cathodes, you can check them out...

EDIT: An extra 512MB of RAM would be good as well...

More RAM would probably give you the most bang for your buck, and I would also shoot for a new video card, maybe an X800GTO or 6600GT.

i don't think you guys saw my ram upgrade under my "Upgrades So Far"

The guy's absolutely right... My mistake... That RAM will suffice So now there's only a graphics card left, we're making some progress...

If your current drives work fine, I wouldn't drop any money to get sata. You don't see any difference. Your card could use an upgrade if you lag in any games.

if I had gotten money I would have chosen a better video card, but you see....it was a gift from my mother from about 2 weeks ago, and i dont want to make her feel bad, so unless I got nearly $100.00 for it.
