Sorry if there is a thread for this,but it seems to be locked.But I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to computer specs.But I'm sick of getting ripped off for pre made pc's so I want to upgrade myself.
My voltage is 34a
Intel Pentium Dual e2180 2.00ghz
The mother board is a Gigabyte LGA775
And Graphics card is a Geforce 8600gts
2gb of ddr2 memory (planning on getting anohter 2gb)
I also have another sytem,but its a bit older,has a worse graphics card and a single core cpu.It has more memory though and I do prefer AMD,the motherboard is an ASRock 939sli32 esata2, I "think" I was wondering If I should basicaly take out the hdd and scrap this.
I'm Looking to spend about £150 on a graphics card,But Im starting to realize my cpu is probaly going to need upgrading too if I want to game,and that might mean a new motherboard too.I cant really afford it all in one go but Im willing to invest to try and keep this rig future proof as much as I can.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

I just found out you can get an addon for my older so it can go 754/939 to socket 940(AM2)CPU so if thats a better board it might be worth upgrading that instead?.The upgrade is a AM2CPU Board
