your question you is asking is where to go to buy computer parts im guessing so

www.newegg.com is the best place online to go to.

i think i will be ok, i upgraded my computer 6 times in the last year because of bf2

as for CPU, ram and harddrive-space i'm on tiop anyways
video card i could upgrade but i think i will be fince with the 6600gt-256

aftar all i can play any game on the market with good FPS on maximum settings, so huxley will probaly work as well

i think a game is the only valid reason to upgrade a pc, windows runs on anything nearly

Well i built my own comp, its a pretty wussy right now but i made sure its completly upgradeable for when i get the $
3.4 Intel P4 w/ HT
1 Gig Patriot 400mhz RAM
80 Gig HD
Diamond 9250 Crap PCI Card

By the way CTU24 If you want I will try to help you with building your own custom comp. I just picked out all the parts for my friend at an online store and ill be building his in the next month. If you have Xfire i my name on that is Archerofgun and my AIM name is TheLaidPizzaGuy. Just IM me and I'll pick some parts out for you based on your budget and explain how to build it yourself, i bought a 300 page book on building gaming comps. I'll try to make it painless.

If you guys are going to buy a new processor, I would suggest going with a new Intel (the Conroe). Comparing price and performance with AMD, Intel is ahead ATM.
