I'd upgrade the GPU to a 260 for example and get an additional 2 GB of RAM (unless you are running a 32-bit OS).

You could leave the RAM upgrade for later since you will only have to buy additional strips, but do the GPU upgrade now. It is more future proof (will last you longer for a little bit more money)

Hey, a 9800 GT is pretty kickass. I mean, unless you want to rape Crysis or something.

I don't think so. I mean, think about what you'll need. a 9800 GT will play practically any game on high settings. Unless you're outputting to a massive LCD screen, or have like 3 monitors, it's not really going to make a big enough difference to matter.

It probably won't play future badass games, but if you're mainly looking for surfing/multemedia it should last you a long time ... until the next Windows comes out and requires i7 cores and 4GB of memory ... but until then you should be safe.


Obviously I'm kidding about the next Windows, but you have to admit Windows is getting pretty demanding. 30 years ago, Bill Gates said: "We believe 64Kb should be enough for anybody".
