If I had the money I would improve all of that.

[Ngo]

I'd get the Q8400 instead.

[Wrathek]

if i had to pick just one, the graphics card. if i got to pick 2, the graphics card, and i would change the CPU to the Q9550

[Ngo]

Of course it all depends on your price range and what you are wanting to do with the computer.

Lol @ people who say you need to upgrade cpu/gpu

my build is a bit worse than yours and i run gta4 on high.

but you could do with 4gb of ram and 64 bit of win7 to top it.

[Akaru]

I would say CPU or RAM. PC2-5300 is slow. You can get a set 2x 2GB set of ram running at PC2-6400 for like 50 dollars now.

[Widow]

..... RAM Is only thing slowing ur PC Down However that setup with $50 of new RAM could run crysis on High/Vhigh on 1680 so wtf are u upgrading for

 

Personally id get $2 worth of SandPaper and lap ur CPU and Cooler if ur Cooler is Stock then u fail and get a OCZ Vendetta 2 or cheap and works well and doesnt need a high Pressure aftermarket fan to push air through (All tho i have one on mine).

 

Happy OCing

Terrible power supply. that should be your first priority even above performance enhancing stuff.
