at christmas i have a copel choices of what i can get the choices are above
in the poll please help

Well, it would help to know what the exact upgrade is from to.

Anyway, it's up to you. Do you want a bike or a computer that is faster than the one you have now (which, IIRC, is pretty good, apart from the falling out AGP slot)?

thats the reason its geting worce cause now i cant start hl2 without it crashing a couple times and then having to play with artifacts of a sort

also the exat upgrade to is unknow cause i havent looked but if i get a bike i will only have what ever people give me if i go for the upgrade i will have ?200 - ?400 to spend to upgrade to pci express

Well, if it's causing major stability problems, upgrade.

For ?200 you could get a 6600GT and a good motherboard. And then you could spend another ?50 on RAM (you said memory upgrade in one option, so I think you'll want that in the second, just a guess).

acturly i don't want ne memory for now if i do a major upgrade as i have a gig its only if i have a small amout of cash to spend but if i do do A major upgrade i mite want to make anoth comuter out of the old parts to make a better server for my website but i wont be able to do it straight away cause itil cost to much

Right, I see.

ok i need sugestions for what motherboard i should get with ddr ram 939 socket and pci express

[url=http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=158981]Asus A8N SLI[/url] - lots of upgrade options for the future. Also is damn cheap.

Remember that the 16x PCI-E slots can also be used in 1x, 4x and 8x mode for PCI-E cards that aren't graphics card, so it does not limit expansion car potential.

do u think this is ne good

i mite have a another ?50-100 on top depending on what i can get on my warhammer

Very good.

I wouldn't install the GPU cooler straight away - it voids the warranty outright.

Don't see why you need a HDD cooler, the front fans should give it plenty of cooling, and an extra cooler means more noise.

I would also reccommend looking at the Akasa AK913 for cooling. I know it's a very good cooler, and a very similar price.

HTH

no thats for my servre though i mite get a silent one

Ah, I see. You should keep it out of what you want for your PC upgrade - makes it easier for us.

thanx for the help i am getting a 6600 gt, artic cooling cpu frezzer and Asus A8N-SLi
