I was recently thinking how much of an upgrade I need while playing a few PC games the other day. I only have a $100-$200 budget maybe more depending on how well i get paid the next few months. My current rig is a few years old, bought it before college and now I want to upgrade to keep up with the flow of current games.
My current Rig:
OS: Windows 7 32 bit
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GE
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.40 GHz
RAM: 3 GB DDR2 PC2-6400
Like I said I am looking to upgrade, not looking to play battlefield 3 on ultra or anything, just something to maybe play Red Orchestra 2 (when it gets fixed) on ultra or most of my games on high or so. So give me your idea or opinions since they are well welcomed.
100-200 dollars won't get you far.

Well then what do you think would be reasonable? I said I was able to go more than that.
RO 2 on Ultra..
I don't really know prices in the US, but I'm guessing around 800-1000 dollars.
How is your RAM set up? 3GB is a strange amount. Do you have a 2GB stick and a 1GB stick, or what?
Is it socket LGA 775? What power supply do you have?
You're much better off upgrading.
Get your RAM up to 4GB, get a 6770, and try and find a decent (used probably) 775 CPU for the rest.

I would have too look at the power supply, I really don't know off the top of my head. I planned on the 4gb of ram. From there I am clueless as of what to do since I don't have $1000 to spend on upgrading.
okay, figure out what the PSU is and then I'll see what I can do.
