Time has come to upgrate the old rig...
MSI K8N SLI Platinum
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (2400MHz) Venice core
4x 512MB RAM
GeForce 7800GTX 256bit 256MB VRAM
I was thinking of upgrading something like this...
MSI K9N SLI Platinum
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ or 4400+ socket AM2
2x 1GB RAM
GeForce 7950 GX2 512MB bit 1GB VRAM
What do you think? Would you change anything? Any advice is welcome. I will use this PC for gaming mostly.

i agree with addicted. fx-64 is the way to go for a gamer. and if you have the cash go for it. most are not that lucky.

Go for Athlon 64 FX instead of the X2 for gaming, make sure the 2 1GB RAM stix are both dual channel (if your mobo supports it, im sure it does), namely a pair of the Corsair XMS series. Those would be my suggestions. The graphics card is overkill unless youre doin some HARD CORE gamin.

Just keep your current setup and games should work fine. I have an AMD Athalon XP 1800+, ATI Radeon 9250, and 2 GB of Ram, and almost all of the new games out there work, with the exception of Oblivion. I think the slower processor will be fine.

just upgrade AMD 64 3200+ to AMD Athlon 64x2 4200+ (2.0GGHz) or 4400+ (2.2GHz) than u will see a BIG difference. trust me and save ur $$$.
4x512mb ram = 2x1gb it make no difference u will lost >$200 for this, for today u got GeForce 7800gtx 256mb vram is powerful enough.

I would actually go with a 64 FX instead of the X2 if you're going to be gaming.

My personal opinion is that buy new Xbox or Play station for playing game. Bcoz it is best way to play a good game.

You may use 2 video cards together. What about cooling? How many fans do you have?
