Hi I have around 400£ to psend on upgrading my system and was wondering what I should focus on first.
I was thinking of getting a new mobo, PSU and processor and possibly a new video card if there is money left over. Would this be the best way to upgrade? I run a dual 19" 1440 x 900 monitor setup and usually run two versions of the same online game which currently has a low FPS while doing so. The game itself is not too demanding in terms of performance and I can easily run one client with max settings without any issues. I was mainly after an upgrade that will allow me to play the two clients simultaenously with a decent FPS on normal to high settings Current system: Intel Core 2 - 1.86 GHz Video: ATI Radeon Force3D 3650 1GB 2GB DDR2 RAM MOBO: MS-7255 PSU: Fortron 350W |

None of its fantastic by any means, but I guess you don't need a particularly good system if the game isn't demanding.

PSU definatly needs upgrading to a decent brand. Motherboard is also not great brand, Asus or Gigabyte will see you better. Because it's a low-demanding game, personally I'd skip the GPU, and upgrade the RAM to something branded, as well as a better CPU, AMD might be a good choice over Intel seeing as it's restricted to a budget, as they're still good quality, just cheaper. So in order of preference: PSU Mobo CPU RAM GPU My System: FordyPC

Fortron makes OK PSUs, they are OEM for OCZ, etc. The 3650 is a pretty horrible card, I would upgrade it first along with the PSU if possible. RAM would also help run two of the game.
