I would ditch Vista first and go with 7 64-bit. I have 7 home Premium 64 on my gaming rig and 7 Ultimate 64 on my test computer and it is not worth the difference in cost Once you have 64 bit OS you can upgrade your memory. Your MB looks like it will take up to 8GB in 4 slots I would go with 4 sticks of DD2 800 (PC2 6400) at 2GB per stick Not sure of the price in Europe but here a stick of that is only $30 Next step will be to upgrade your video. Nightmare's idea of a 460 is a good way to go. any of the GeForce GTX460 cards will work, but you will almost certainly have to upgrade your Power supply. 400W will not cut it. Go for around a 600-750W supply. That would give you the most "bang for your buck" as they say here. Other improvements would be somewhat expensive and the improvements would not really be very good for the price. For example, upgrading your processor. You have a 775 MB and it only supports Core 2 Quad/Core 2 duo/Dual Core (E2xxx) proccessors. For example, about the highest you could go would be http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115060 Here it is around $250 but I really don't think you will see a lot of performance enhancement from that. Definitely ditch Vista - it sucks and is a resource hog. 7 is far superior Awards

I'd get a 650w-750w. Look at the vid card you will get and then decide on how much power you need (the quad core uses a few extra watts). Then maybe get both the PS and vid card. That cpu overclock wouldn't cost much either (as long as that motherboard isn't a hassle). I would google the model and overclocking or try and find reviews where people talk about it. Make sure your next set up is 64 bit. Awards

You can get cheaper ones, but you get what you pay for and a cheap one can blow your system. Get at least a 750 watt model or better. 64 bit OS will let you use all of your memory, but don't get this unless you plan on upgrading to 4 or more Gb. nVidia 460 is a good video card at a great price, as is the new 550. 560's jump up in price from the previous two, so if budget is a factor... As Merlin said, your platform is still great for current games, so no rush for a new rig just yet. Adding a better video card will make a world of difference, as will more memory. If you haven't overclocked before and are interested, do a pile of research before you jump into it. www.overclockers.com has great guides in their forums, as does www.overclock.net. Overclocking is NOT something that you can jump in to and do quickly. Slow and easy wins the race there. Awards

For the overclocking it appears that this motherboard is a OEM component, so your computer is a pre-built one...there is good chances that that board doesn't overclock...those boards are often BIOS-locked... I did read somewhere that there MIGHT be a jumper on the motherboard that override the BIOS-LOCK...you will have to investigate that before considering overclocking.... You might want to browse the MSI forum and get somebody that KNOWS... If that board fails at overclocking (if you cannot unlock the overclocking features of your motherboard) You might want to find a good second-hand 775 board + a GTX460 1GB instead of a GTX560ti...that way you could overclock your CPU...(trying to get the best of both world for the money....) And make sure that before you buy a power supply, that it actually fit in your case... when you attempt to upgrade a pre-built computer this is what you MIGHT encounter: -Psu doesn't fit in case -after market doesn't fit case -motherboard doesn't OC... -Case as poor airflow... -graphics card is too long...

The slot for the the video card is on a strange place, i think i can not place a proper videocard in that slot , now i have a 8600 gt but that's a very small card .

I say go big or go home. Just an opinion and I am not cutting up that build NightmareXI LOL WiZ no prob with your opinion...depends on personal experiences we all made for sure... I have used Corsair and had one bad experience before....so I am using Enermax for ten years now and no probs at all.. same bad experience with be quiet and some others... btw the Enermax is a modular one suggested the gtx 460 because its the best buy for the buck imho.....though I am an ATI guy...using two 6970 in CF Awards
