Little help needed

[WolF_UK]

HI guy's .

Just wanted to pick your brain's being a noob
I have been given due to not being to do a decent enough upgrade for gaming etc untill next year , due to christmass pressie's for kid's etc etc (violins and all) . Some Gear to see me through my dark hours . I'm just trying to see what you think of these piece's, and maybe some advice on (if needed) some budget enhancement's . Thing is i cant really say how much my budget is as i'm not sure myself lol . Maybe even any ovelclock's i could do to inhance my performance for game's etc would be a help .
Anyhow sorry about the waffle and here's what i've got ....

Abit AA8 Durmax
P4 3.40ghz/1m/800
2x512mb 1Rx8 PC2-4200U Samsung (not in the system at moment)
1x1gb PC2-4200U not sure what make etc as running in the pc at moment can check later if needed .
PNY Geforce 7300 GS 256MB DDR2
Casecom Black Midi Tower Case 500watt, LCD Front Panel

Anything will be a help ..

Oh and btw i did have a problem with the stock processor fan so added (as on a budget like said) an Arctic Cooling Alpine 7 CPU Cooler .. purchased from OCUK arrived today , having a little problem but will post that in the correct forum .

P.S. hello to all as i'm new here too

Hello and welcome!

Those are rather low-spec parts, especially the graphics card. If you were looking to upgrade on the cheap I'd look at an ATi X1950 Pro. If you're interested in a whole new or mostly budget rig I'd be happy to knock up a spec for you.

Yeah that'd be great like i say these were given to me so just using em for now and cant complain as didnt cost me nothing compared to my older system

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Try that card out. It should be a tremendous improvement over your current card.

Yeah looking at them now ..
This system will end up in my girl's bedroom for their homework after Xmas maybe late january to replace thir old X office pc i picked up for a bargain when work was clearing out for new system's . Then i'm looking to build my new station so any build's you might have in mind or can post would be of awesome help . I've not built or really looked at compenent's for 8month's to a year now so very out of touch with the new gear around .
So any help is of great help .. been looking around the forum's to get upto date a bit ...
thanks again
