Need Help with upgrade, Please

[slayer8322]

At the moment I can either get CPU, Motherboard, Ram or I can get video Card. My choice of CPU/MB/RAM is E6600, Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus, 2x1024 Patriot Extreme Performance. My choice on Video card is EVGA 8800 GTX KO Edition. I can afford either one right now. My current rig is

AMD 64 3700+ @2.63
4x512MB Corsair Twinx
DFI LanParty SLI-DR
Xclio 600w psu
Antec 900 Gameing Case
Acer 22" LCD 5ms
EVGA 7800 GT

Whish should I upgrade first.


Thanks

Motherboard, CPU, Ram.

You will notice the biggest performace increase when moving towards dual-core processors at the moment.

Nay, seeing as most games are still single-threaded you'll see the biggest leap in performance with the upgraded video card.

However instead of going for insane, overpriced, gamer-targeted stuff you could get a Biostar 965P, E6400, this memory and an 8800GTS 320MB.

I appriciate everyones info on this. I think I will go with video card fist. Now the quest is is wheather to go woth the KO card from EVGA or the regular EVGA 8800 GTX. That is something that I still can not make my mind up on at the moment. Any information will be appriciated.

Thanks

Regular, because then you're eligible for EVGA's step-up program.
