Hello guys.
I want to upgrate my pc after christmas. :)
What’s better to upgrate first ?
My specs:
* 350w PSU
* Intel Penitum Dual Core e5200 (2.5ghz x 2) ~increased to 3.125 x 2.
* XFX Nvidia GTS250.
* 2gb ram.
* Asrock 945GCM-S
* SyncMaster 740n Monitor 17′

So, I have: 246.59 EUR ^^
I was thinking about to buy a new PSU and processor or a good monitor.

Ye, you’ve got a kind of awkward proposition there. Your PC is pretty decent already, there’s nothing outstandingly bad. Imo, upgrade that RAM to 4GB (which assuming involves buying 1x 2GB stick of DDR2 is going to cost less than 30eur), buy a new monitor if you really want one, and then just wait a year or more until there’s new hardware out which is a significant enough improvement over what you already have for it to be worth buying a whole new PC.

only thing u can upgrade there (and should) is ram

any other part would require buying whole set of things which would be out of ur budget
or
wouldnt give enough benefit to spend ~200euros on just “new” but at the end only marginally better parts

if u buy cpu: gpu would make it bottlenecked
if u buy gpu: cpu would make it bottlenecked

plus ud need new psu which is like 50 euros more

just get more ram and a new hdd for some good HD porn in these cold winter nights
