what upgrade should I do next?

[touchmyichi]

Look at my system settings below. Basicallly I have 50-100 dollars to spend. I am really envying an athlon 1700+, but my case is really a piece of crap. it only has space to hold one cooling fan and has a psu w/ 15a on the 12V rail. It's served well for how cheap I got it for though..... I just leave the hood off and i have no trouble keeping good temps but..... I dunno. What would you guys do if u were me? If it is the case I should get, is there any good models you guys would recommend for 50-120 dollars?

Id get a new Tbred B CPU and get a 200fsb going. Should be a nice boost across the board.

get a better case

Ditto the case, you already have a fairly fast cpu and video card, and there's nothing you aren't going to be able to play with that rig.

don't do anything with the processor, i doubt you'll notice much besides benchmark score. processors are already way beyond what windows needs for daily computing... and well, i know my athlon 2000 and radeon 9700 np plays bf1942 at 1600x1200 high detail 2x/4x at 45fps... do i need more than that? hell no

ditto case...the CPU won't make a big diff. You will be wasting $$ better spent later when you can afford a big boost in CPU power.
