So I've got an extra $300 to upgrade my PC this Christmas, right now I've got 2gb of ram, a 17' monitor and a 2.8ghz dual core processor, those are the three areas I plan on improving.

That's what I use, so far I've only been able to get it to $371, that's $71 too much, here are what's gotten me there;

I'm wondering if getting a quad core is even nessesary? Should I just upgrade to a dual with more ghz?
Better monitor that's the same price after rebate.

I'm using it for gaming, but I need to keep it to $300, that's more than $300, I don't need that much RAM and the processor is barely different from the one I have.
I don't know why both of you suggested a processor that is nigh identical to the one I already have.
Can we have your exact specs please? As in cpu model number, motherboard, gpu model, etc...
I think I'm just going to drop the RAM, which is $316 total, 2gb of ram will do me fine until I can find $50 after Christmas.

That processor do you have? If it's one of the Regor cores you should be fine for the CPU. They're just perfect for low-end to low-mid-end gaming.

It's a good CPU. I just ordered one for myself.
