Dude you need a new base system...cpu ,ram and motherboard...
cpu;s for that system are expensive...you could put together another system for the same as you would pay for a 939 dual unlocked processor.....plus the speed difference wouldnt seem like squat...sell your mobo ,ram and cpu and build an amd system or an i3 intel system...difference couldnt be that much...then work on your video card and what power supply u runnin......

yep.... that's pretty much a complete upgrade.

what kind of budget are you working with ?

There's no point in keeping any of that system. Get 600-1000$ and come over to general hardware for a build.

 

[shrewd33]

That's what I was thinking about doing, I just didn't know if I should.
but you guys are rite.

budget for a new system is $2,100 - $2,500

I do game a lot if that helps.

Only and I mean the only thing I would do for that system would be to find a 4200+ dual core or possibly an Opty 165/170 and OC it a bit... Other than that it would be a waste of $$$


Man with that kind of $$$ you could build some sweet stuff...
