100 dollar comp upgrade

[dvdpiddy]

Ok i just got 100 dollars for shoveling snow yesterday and im thinking of upgrading my comp. Either with more ram selling my old graphics card or buying water cooling. I need your suggestions ok.
option 1. buy corsair ram for 84$
option 2. buy kingwin water cooling for 100
option 3. sell my leadtek 6800 agp to the kid down the street for 140 and buy EVGA 6800 gs for 215
Will i see a major upgrade in graphics if i go with option 3?

Personally, I would save it and when AM2 comes out go buy a bigger mobo/cpu when prices drop

Otherwise, if you can do without your computer for a couple of weeks sell your processor and motherboard on e-bay for around 150-175 combine that with your 100 and then buy a Asrock Dual/64 3200+ and call it a day

I would also wait. I dont think anything you could buy right now would be worth the money. Any way you cut it, you have a long expensive road ahead of you but you are in a better spot than current A64 owners who upgrade in the next few months. I would reuse as much as you can from your current computer and use it with your next purchase. The only other thing I can think of is a bigger monitor maybe?????

Yep I agree with everyone else. It might not be too much fun, but it's probably the best thing to do. Your system looks pretty decent for now, and I wouldn't recommend buying anything else until you can save a little more.
