Built this thing a while ago know and i was just wondering if there are any possible upgrades or system bottlenecks?

Mobo: asus a8n-e
g/c: winfast 7800 gt
psu: hiper 580
cpu: amd 64 3700+
hdd: 160 gig and 2 gig of ram

cheers
 
i think you colud do a cheap wee dual core upgrade...

i changed from a 3700+ (939) to a 3800+ x2 and what a difference!!

System feels quicker, video encoding, etc!

Defo worth it in my eyes... think my 3800+ (939) chip oem was only 55 quid :)
 
is the 4200+ x2 overkill for the rest of the system? seems cheapish to me and doesn't reqire a new mobo etc
 
Just the first 3, but after that it is probably new rig time.

I'd go for the 4200, it's not a lot more than the 3800. Big jump to the 4400 though.
 
save your pennies and get a C2Duo system, you can build one for next to nothing these days:

E2140=Around 50 pounds
P35 motherboard=Around 80-90
RAM=Some Ballistix of G.Skill for around 60ish (new ;))
VGA=8800GTS 320MB
