I'm considering upgrading but am wondering if its worth it at the moment. My current spec is as follows :

AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Barton (11 x 200)
ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe 1.01 1008
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120GB (SATA)
ATI RADEON 9800 (Flashed to Pro @355/400)
2x256Mb Corsair XMS3200 TwinX 6-2-3-2
SLK-947-U / TT Smartfan II
420w Thermaltake Pure Power PSU

What i'd thought about is the Asus A8N-SLI deluxe with a AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Winchester and i've got a ATI X800 SE 128mb PCI-express gfx card I can pull from another machine.

Would there be a significant increase in games etc with the new mb, cpu and gfx card or would I be aswell keeping what I have and waiting for a few months to see what else new is to come out ?

Take a look at the Alienware computers.  I'm thinking of getting one  - The Aurora  7500 with harddrive upgrade and the big Nvidia card.  www.alienware.com

Yeah and us people in the real world can really afford systems that price !!

:o

Whaddya mean? The system I just configured online would only cost me US$6037! :D :lol: :P
