    hi everyone,
    I have a custom built PC that a friend built for me a couple of years ago and I think it is time to upgrade. I know that one option is a fresh build but as a student I can't afford that right now so I was thinking new mobo, RAM etc. any thoughts would be great so pleas reply asap!,
    thanks.

    Get a good sound card (X-Fi or ASUS XONAR) and another gig or two of RAM (do not go over 3GB). Your CPU is fine IMO.

    agreed RAM and a sould card is all you really need at the moment, how ever you could always upgrade your grahpics cards at a later date
