What is my bottleneck?

[cheesygoldfish]

Here is the system specs. I play alot of FPS games on LAN with it.

Sempron 3100+ (Socket 754, Palermo) 1.8Ghz (@ 2.05Ghz)

FIC K8MC51G Mobo

1GB DDR400 RAM (@ 457 Mhz) (2x512MB, single channel due to socket 754)

Seagate 100GB 7200rpm

Geforce 7600 GS PCI-E 400/800 (@ 515/920)

I have a few bucks to spend if necessary. Is it good or should I upgrade?

With a Sempron 3100+ and 7600GS with 1GB, and low-medium in-game settings, nope.

Don't upgrade just for the sake of upgrading. If the games play at reasonable to you settings just fine, then stay with what you have. Like previously stated, low-to-medium settings will be fine with what you have. If you want more than that, then upgrade.

Edit: If you are currently experiencing bottlenecks, tell us what settings/resolution you want to, or are trying to, play at, and we'll give some "advice"
