Computer Upgrade

I need help in deciding a computer upgrade because I have only two options. My Current Specs
  • A64 3200+ Winchester Core
  • Gigabyte K8n Ultra Sli Motherboard
  • XFX 7800GT
  • Kingston 512*4 DDR 400MHZ RAM
The two options
  1. Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, Kingston 512MB*4 DDR2 667MHZ RAM and Intel 965 Motherboard
  2. XFX 8800GTS 320MB
I can only afford one of the above choices and I am a PC gamer so what would be better for the next 6 months. Computer Upgrade
Why not opt for 2 x 1GB sticks?Computer Upgrade
I can go for that as well but first i need to know which option is better =( its a tough decision.
You%26#39;d be better getting your cpu, ram, and mobo, and then getting a gpu...since there is no dx 10 games out there, there is no rush, and ATI 2900 series (and probably nvidia dx 10 2nd generation) will probably ship cards by the time your piggy bank fills up ;)
I agree, get the CPU, mobo, and RAM now. That 7800GT will last you until some DX10 games are actually out, and the prices on those GPUs will be cheaper.
I%26#39;mma have to go w/the CPU, ram, and mobo option as well ;)
I have an xbox 360 as well. and about the processor i heard that AMD is releasing its next version of CPUs. Computer Upgrade are soo damn hectic !!!

[/QUOTE]Yep, there%26#39;s always going to be something better right around the corner. You could end up waiting forever and never feel confident with what you buy.  Best advice is to do you research and spend your money wisely.  Whatever you get isn%26#39;t going to be obsolete tomorrow.  Maybe the day after though :) 
i would do the 1st option, first of all those parts have been out for a while so they are at such a great price right now. the 8800 is still new and expensive and there are no games that even need a card like that yet. so do option 1 now, and maybe in 6 months to a year get a nice direct x 10 card, theyll be so cheap when ati%26#39;s comes out
okay then ill get the proc upgrade and tell me is nvidia 650i better than intel 965 ? if yes by how much ?
