I am unsure as to what I should spend money on for my computer


Ive got an Athlon XP 2700+
1gig corsair XMS pc3200
ati radeon 9800 pro
using onboard Nforce2 audio.
500 watt PSU
40GIG HD
5.1 logitech speakers
17'' KDS XF-7B monitor (extreme flat crt)

Thank you very much.

    Suggesting bigger HD that is quick and 8mb cache. I think 80 gig 8mb from maxtor is about 45€.

    I'd say a 200 GB (at least) SATA hard drive. if your existing system is anything of an indication of your budget, go w/ a SATA RAID then.

    Besides that, a Plextor DVD Burner.

    Maybe upgrade your video card too when the next generation (i.e. geforce 7 & ati equivilant) comes out...
