Default Thinking of Future Computer Upgrades...

I just though I'd get some opinions, links and whatnot as even though I got myself a brand new graphics card Im still not satisfied... I spose its a curse of gamers, no matter how fast, its not fast enough... anyways the 2 upgrades Im planning right now is:

Right now:
New power supply as im running 300 and would prefer some more as Im pretty sure im on borderline, thinking 400-500 Watts+ more fans (during the summer she runs just to hot to game for long periods of time and Im to the point of throwing her on standby every couple of hours to cool down) and Im planning on giving her a new case since usualy you get pretty good deals if you get a Case + PS

After that:
Since Im pretty Confident on my processer right now Im gonna wait till early 2007 before I start worring about that but I wanna get some price checks ( Im a cheapskate) Right now Im running a "Amd Athlon 64 Processer 3200+, MMX, 3Dnow ~2.0 ghz" I've though about dual core but from what ive heard its a bit overpowered right now... (BTW Im guessing since the computer is only a year old that its running a 939 socket board)

As im only 16 price is always right there kicking me in the butt, and I dont have my drivers liscense yet... (not a big fan of cars, yet Im not afraid of depth charges in SHIII :hmm: ) so no job except for chores and every summer I get to be a slave and bale hay on our farm (which helped pay for my GFX card)

yes Im doing everything myself and am pretty confident with my Amateurish computer building abuilties, and I have plenty of m8s who are experts in the field.... but really who isnt these days... theres like 20 people from my old guild wars guild who builds computers....

Tiger Direct and Newegg are awesome sites, and I use them both, Tiger Direct seems to have better supply of cases while Newegg has better internals...

anyways you are now free to move about the post...


P.S. If you even suggest a cable made by intel I kick your behind into next year... (AMD FTW)
