A couple of years ago, I built a computer that I've been pretty happy with. It has 4 gigs of RAM, a 3.2 processor and a 1 GB vidio card. (Exact stats attached to the end of the post). I've subsequently added a 60 GB SSD to improve boot time/everyday computing tasks.
Bearing in mind that I use this computer for gaming/media consumption, what would the most cost-effective upgrade path be? Thanks for any advice.
