taintedplay is on a distinguished road

Default Re: Updating my computer for Gaming

well you need a new motherboard, because that one is agp not pcie.

If you get a new motherboard, you should then get proc, ram, and a grpahics card.
I dont know if you want to spend this much or not, but heres a sample build

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail 100$

some cheap ddr2 800 ram 25$

Intel Pentium E2180 Allendale 2.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80557E2180 - Retail 90$

now here you can ether spend a good amount on a good graphics card, or a less one. I would recommend the 8800gt, about 260$ but you can obviously choose to get a less one like a 7600gs or something.

Also, how many amps on the 12v rail on your psu?
