Need advice on upgrading
Alright, so my birthdays coming up (Oct 2) and I need to ask for something... so I figure I could always upgrade my computer. Anyway here are the current specs:
Microsoft XP
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.2 GHz
Memory: 2 GB of RAM
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT
Motherboard: MSI P6N SLI
Power: Antec 430 watts
(if i left out something just let me know)
So I just want an upgrade, nothing to expensive (maybe 300-500$ if that's reasonable... probably can go higher). Want to be able to play games like CoD5 with high frames and high graphics.

If you can find one in stock somewheres.
Should have enough money left over to buy a new PSU as well. Your vid card is really all that's lacking in that system.

Re: Need advice on upgrading
Id say get a new processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115041 (q550) a new graphics card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150368 (4890, good price in stock and should last for quite some time) and a new power supply to run all these things http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139006 (looks very good but I am no PSU expert) Just wait for Bamboo to have a look at this thread, hes the expert

A third gig of RAM is missing, and RAM is cheap!
