My current rig is in my sig.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

- On a budget.
- Will play a lot of World of Warcraft.
- Has to be able to run Crysis, Hellgate: London, UT2K7, ET: Quake Wars & Bioshock at 1024x768 at least and get decent performance.
- Would like to upgrade to a ~8600 GT when they are released.
- I want to buy a widescreen LCD and play WoW at 1680x1050.
- Will upgrade to a dual core in a year or less.

What do you think I should upgrade?

Thank you 🙂
 
video card first and then your cpu or ram (would be nice to go dual core of at least 4400-4800+ and 2Gigs of ram).
Get the best video card you can afford (don't even know if you'll get very good frames if an 8600GT was out right now).
 
Video card. From everything I've read, the video card does most, if not all, the work at high resolutions. If I were you, I'd wait a few weeks until ATI has their new line of graphics cards out. Nvidia will cut prices no doubt shortly after, then you can choose and pick what would best suit you for a good price. If you want a cheap immediate upgrade, I think 7600gt's are to be had for about $100.
