Well last Sunday i went on holiday to America and my mum gave me $700 to spend; which ive already spend $20; anyways i go back to england in 5 weeks and i wish to spend the cash buying better stuff for my computer so i can play games.I have $500 to spend but i could bump it up to $600 if i wanted to; I have 3.3GHZ computer at home with less than 500mb RAM rubbish graphics card and thats all i can remember, so my main things would be 1) RAM 1-2GB should be enough right? cheapest RAM (link me to website)2) Video card - this is my next thing it needs to be as good as i can get so i can play games at the moment and games to come next year AGP OR PCI - E (Well i can get a really good one; but i have Christmas 07 to buy a video card worth 100-200 quid but honsetly if i buy a video card know whats the point buying one Christmas? and the other problem is i don't praticuly not want to get video card know and just buy a really good one Christmas; so in other words i want to buy it know and last until Christmas next year or Summer next year.)3) Mother board - Well if i want to get a PCI - E video card.What do you guys think will be cheapest for me to get then?

anyone?$500 to upgrade computer - what should i buy?
Your post is sort of...choppy. Anyway, since you only have 500$ I would get an AMD(Socket AM2) processor; people on this board will argue all day about how much better intel is, but AMD is budget and pretty good. Go ahead and get 2gigs. of RAM, and a 7950GT or something. Go to newegg.com and see what you can buy.
choppy? i would go to newegg but i have not idea what im looking for
You obviously have some idea of what you are doing, just find a motherboard, processor, ram, and video card; post the link here and we will tell you what you are doing wrong......I`m not good with helping people.....if you cant tell. Just go to newegg.com and look under computer hardware.
Well your in the UK so most of us cant really help you but maybe if you made a thead like, ''can some one help me make a $500 quid computer (btw I am in the uk)'' then the people from the UK would maybe come and help you.
kk will do i dont need a new prosser if mine is 3.3GHZ... is ram video card and maybe motherboard the only things i need for games to run really good?

Then build it when your in America, every one not in America has to pay alot more for computer parts generally.
Well If your processor is Intel, I recomend you to buy 2 GB of RAM Corsair Value Ram DDR2 667, Videocard MSI Nvidia 8600 GTS, Motherboard EVGA Nvidia Nforce 680i. All this in newegg or tigerdirect. This for 500But my advise Buy a videocard EVGA 8800 GTS 320MB + Power Suply 500 W Sli Certified + EVGA Nforce 680I + 2GB of RAM DDR2 667 any brand but not the cheapest one (read reviews). This for 700 US$
