What to upgrade?

[Venge]

ok, I'm gona make this short and sweet. I'm starting an upgrade fund and I got $350 to start it. What should my upgrade goals be?

My curent specs:

• AMD 3500 Newy
• MSI K8N plat. (NF3)
• 2 gb 2-3-2-5 t1
• 6800 Ultra
• Audigy 2 ZS
• 2 Raptors (36 gigers raid 0)
• asortment of other largers drives
• 20 inch LCD
• crapy case...

As my rig stands now I only score 4.8K on 3Dmark05 and I can never beat that without OCing I feal storage speed limited but I cant do nothing about that... What do you think is the worste item in my PC? What needs to go?

I would do nothing to the actual components, since it should still be able to handle anything you throw at it - I would only consider changing the case (and/or the PSU, depending on what it is.)

I have been long druleing over the Antec P180 And the PSU is crap.... Its a forton or what ever there called 530W. But I just got a unemployment check so looks like I'll be adding $200 to the fund.. so $550 can get me into PCI express but I wont be buying another ultra... I originaly planed to buy a Headset for $250 but I figured my PC weas more important...

Hows that PSU?

fortron PSU are great stuff.. they're efficient and most importantly.. quiet..

if you're willing to shell out some extra.. get urself a Seasonic or Tagan and be happy..

yea, Its stable but undervolted my 12V rails are at 10.7 to 11.5 max And no, I'm not takin git out and adjusting it.. too much of a pain.

What do you think of the Xfi cards? worth upgrading to?
