Monkey is gonna upgrade build

[MrMonkey]

I have been putting this off since, well lets be honest..since source came out. I want to run the route of upgrading my mobo, processer and ram for sure. Maybe on the graphics card if I have the money. Budget is to stay under $700 but I need to buy a new router with that cash as well so lets round down to $600. I have absolutely zero experience with Amd products and have always been an intel/nvidia monkey.

 

Current specs:

 

Asus P4ad2-e premium mobo

Intel P4 3.4ghz single core

3gb of ddr2

Evga nvidia 9800 gt

 

I just replaced my power supply last year and shouldn't need a new one regardless of what I add and my case is a monster with enough cooling to handle anything.(I had to because of how much heat the original p4 produced after they first switched to the socket T).

 

And gooo!

Make a list of what you have and don't need to replace and another of things you want to replace.

What I have.

Monitor

Keyboard

Mouse

Power supply

Case

Headset

 

Things I want to upgrade:

Motherboard

Cpu

Ram

Gfx card

 

The more I have looked around I have realized that I'm really uncomfortable with the video card portion because I have never done anything with considering multiple cards for sli and I have no clue if that is even worth it.

Maybe you can start with this and work your way around it. You could just search or some good combos to save some money.
