What would you do to my system with $200?

[tarentinos]

Right now my PC is LOUD due mostly to my ti4200, so I'm going to sell it for $35-40 and buy either a 9800 pro with a silencer or a 6600gt. The 6600 gt will need a silencer as well (or so I gather) but this makes the price difference nearly $100.

I was planning on buying some PQI 3200 RAM to make 1 gb in my system and buy a used 9800 pro, a quiet case fan, vga silencer, and Rome: Total War for about $200. Sound reasonable or should I go with something else? What would you do with $200 to this system?

Antec SLK2600SMB
Asus A7N8X
2500+ Barton w/ Speeze Whisperrock II
XFX 8x 128mb TI4200
BT 512mb RAM
60gb WD HD

RAM $40 (Newegg)
Rome: total war $30 (ebay)
6600GT: $150 (Newegg), and I don't think you need a silencer for it.

going to 1GB RAM is the most obvious and is a necessity.

i would recommend a bigger hard drive, but since you didnt mention it I assume you are fine on storage space anyway.

i'd also recommend checking out the For Sale/Trade forum here to save even more. You can probably find a used 9800 Pro w/ a VGA silencer already equipped if that interests you.
