What should I upgrade first?

thebirdman · 11-29-2007, 08:52 PM

My current setup is starting to fall behind with the newest games, heres my specs:

Pentium 4 2.80GHz
80 gb hard drive (only 10 gb left!)
GeForce 6800 GS
1 gb RAM

I'm already planning on upgrading my hard drive. I want to upgrade the rest of my system, but I don't know where to start. What should I upgrade first?

Need more specific specifications on your entire hardware setup to give better advice: Mobo, Video card and slot type, HDD support etc.
