Upgrading Help?Follow

#1 Nov 30 2004 at 7:24 PM Rating: Decent
Ahoy there, like alot of people I'm interested in upgrading my PC for EQ2. Here's what I currently have:

-P4 1.6 GHz
-768mb RAM (not sure what kind)
-160w Power Supply
-Geforce FX 5200 128mb

I'd like to upgrade all of that junk. I checked pricewatch.com for the following and got these prices for them:

-ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb $146
-Pentium 2.8 Prescott mobo/cpu combo $197
-450w power supply $46
-1 gig of higher quality RAM (I just got the price for the PC3200 DDR on this one) $113

What I'd like to know is what type of RAM i should get for the new mobo (http://www.soyousa.com/products/proddesc.php?id=292), and if that mobo is one I want for gaming. Also, any recommendations of something I should get instead of one of the things I'm planning on buying are appreciated.
Thanks

EDIT:
Wait a second, I just looked at that site I stuck up there for the mobo and see that a CPU doesn't come with the mobo. I assumed it would since I found the link under CPU/mobo combos on pricewatch...

I believe this is the real item I want.

Looks like I can also get a 420w power supply added on for $30 as well.

Any feedback for this being something I should get?

Man, wish I knew you had been posting a similiar question to mine, I'd have waited and just tacked mine on to yours...I spent about 10 minutes writing my long winded question out...only suggestion I have on the mobo, take a look at the SOYO Dragon V.2 or the Black Label Version http://www.soyousa.com/products/proddesc.php?id=287 ...for a little more cash all the reviews I've read said they smoke the competition in the same bracket.

Try newegg.com. Just built a computer and purchased everything from them.
