Guys i was wondering what is the average cost for a CPU, Graphics card and ram.

I want a good graphic card that will allow me to play Battlefield 2142 on High and over 100/150 FPS.

So what stuff should i get? And what is the most important to get higher FPS?

Graphics Card: GeForce 8800 GT $159. ( I have GeForce 8500 GT
CPU: I have Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz (2 CPUs) Is that good enough?
RAM: 1024 Ram


Should i upgrade everything or just the ram and/or graphics card?

Plus i only want to spend less then maybe 300-400.

Well now-a-days I'd go with a 4850 or if you really like nvidia a 9800gt :-)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121268 (9800gt)
I would recommend the 4850 as it just slaughters the 9800gt in everything :-) now-a-days the 8800gt is very outdated. my 4870 runs crysis max 1024x768 (I dual screen on a 15'' and a 22'') around 30 fps (max as in, everything including aa and af)

Linkies the 3870 is much better and cheaper than the 9800gt

What power supply do you have as with a more powerful video card you will most likely need a more powerful supply.
The 1.86 CPU will be a limiting factor here.
