Hi, not sure where to put it so I've put it here. I have plans on upgrading my PC soon but I'm not sure what exactly needs to be upgraded (I have problems with cash so i don't want to pend too much money on it.). This is my specs: Motherboard - MSI Mainboard S-775 P45 ATX PCI-E Audio GbLAN SATA-II 1394 DDR2/DDR3 Retail RAM - CORSAIR XMS 1024Mb x4 DDR3 1333MHz CPU - INTEL Core2Duo E7600 Box 3,06GHZ 1066/3M S775 GPU - ASUS GF GTS250 512MB PCI-E HDD - SEAGATE DiamondMax22 320GBSATA3GB/ sNCQ Thanks.
I'd get a new motherboard, a new GPU and a new CPU. Maybe a new PSU depending on what you have.

That's practically building a new computer and i don't have so much cash to spend on it, yet.

I hope you are joking about the adding more gigs to your PC. Anyway, what is your monitor resolution? The GTS 250 is still a strong card, but you really have to give us a budget so we know what to look for.
I'm guessing that motherboard is doing some damage. Maybe if you put a bit more information on the parts we could do a better analysis. Vendor codes, prices etc.

I don't have a budget but i don't want to change my motherboard. Also i don't think i want to spend more than 100-150 bucks on the upgrade since it's working really well ever as it is right now.

And 1156 is going to be outdated soon.

What is the problem exactly? This is a good balanced system.. Upgrade would be, Q9xxx series used ATI/NV HD57xx/GTS450(GTX460?768MB) ... On that resolution you better have a juicy cpu!
