    Next upgrades

    I want to upgrade some more in my computer, so what do you think, I should do? I'm not upgrading my CPU, because I don't give a ****, it runs perfect, and I bet an AMD 4000+ wouldn't change much. Maybe I should buy a X-Fi soundcard? Which one should I get then? I could also get a new mouse, keyboard and mousepad. I've just bought my 7800 GT, so I won't be upgrading that for a while, I'm very satisfied with it. What would you do?

    Intel Pentium4 3.4Ghz
    nVidia GeForce 7800 GT
    Kingston ValueRam 2x1024MB
    Creative Audigy ES
    Seagate 120GB 7200.7Rpm
    Logitech Cordless Elite Keyboard
    Logitech Cordless MX 900 Mouse

    Cheers,
    Jackass

    A couple of fast SATA drives setup in a RAID to load stuff even faster.

      1. what mobo do you have, because if you have a SLi mobo, you can get a second card for SLi ^_^!!!!! . just a thought

      2. These would be the things I would upgrade:
      creative x-fi xtreme music or platinum, but most will just say XM.
      mouse and keyboard, only if you have a problem with yours at the moment. (the G15 keyboard) and a cool mousepad, I like the ratpadzGS, but many people love the steelpad, so if you end up getting a mousepad go with the steel pad.
      another hard drive would be cool, but not very justified.
      watercooling

      other than that you have a cool rig, try OCing now ^_^

        Hell if you got the money treat yourself to one of the new 150gb raptors, otherwise the xfi would be nice.

          meh... RAID does not do much (unless you use it in a server maybe), and I think Raptors are way overpriced for the tiny increase in performance. I'd go with an X-Fi card and a 5.1 system if you don't already have one. A rumbling subwoofer is so awesome in games... especially BF2 and COD2.

          And what kind of servers do you play on when you get 75 fps? My new heatsinks helped a bit, but my fps will still drop to 30 in 64 man servers. 32 and 40 man servers are fine for me.
