Got 2*nvidia geforce 6800 GS in SLI 2GB DDR RAM AMD 64 X2 4200+ Which of these should I upgrade? was thinking about the processor until I realised that would probably mean a new motherboard and new RAM.

Re: Not sure what to upgrade

You really don't need an upgrade imo. Your rig could probably play anything that's currentlyl out. I do agree with the others though that the video would be the upgrade if you plan on it regardless
