Hi all, I am willing to spend 200 to 300 dollars on a computer component if I feel that I can get some great results. I built a gaming rig not so long ago and would like to add to it if possible by spending 200 - 300 dollars, but only if there would be significant improvements. I'd really like to upgrade my pc, but if there isn't much to do then I'll purchase a PS3 or XBOX 360.

Any help would be appreciated! 8)

Hmm... looks like a good rig still. You could maybe upgrade your video card to a 8800GTS 512, however the improvement isn't really worth $250. And how do you have 2.5GB of RAM? Are you not running in dual channel mode?

I would save your money for now and get a 360 or PS3 to play some games you've been missing out on. That's still a pretty solid computer that should play all of today and tomorrows games well for a while.
