I don;t thing you need a whole system upgrade right now. Your motherboard supports all the Phenom II and Athlon II processors up to 95W TDP. So just upgrade the CPU, get anothr 2 GB DDR2 ram and a discreet GPU + PSU

Here is my suggestion:
AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2 GHz (2 MM L2 cache) @ 4.8K
Kingston 2 GB 800 MHz @ 1.4K
PSU: Corsair GS600 80+ @ 4K
Sapphire HD 6850 1 GB GDDR5 @ 9.5K


If you want something little cheaper then

AMD Athlon II X4 635 @ 4K
Kingston 2 GB 800 MHz @ 1.4K
Tagan Stonerock 500W 80+ bronze PSU @ 3K
Zotax GTX 460 768 MB @ 8.4K

hi cilus...i recheck on my finance to see if i can meet up with the current suggestion on upgrade, BAD news am on financial crunch and willing to spend now only 10000 bucks.
My apology is i bother you too much. Would be able to suggest me a lower budget PSU & GPU.
PS: Shayem bro! I would have to ask you to suggest me a 2.1 speaker due to crunch on my finance.
Thanks again to all you guys & this forum to be here!
