Help with Processor Upgrade
I am currently running an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2.50 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB Graphics on the Acer Manufactured F690GVM Motherboard. I want to know which of those two I should upgrade first, the processor or the graphics, to get the best out of modern games. Also if anyone have any suggestions on what to upgrade to from what I have that would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks

Games are massively GFX card dependent, upgrading that would see the biggest boost in game performance.

$200 to buy a PSU with max 400 - 500W (I got 250W) and either a 8800 GT or 9800 GT.

Uh, no, it won't cost you $200 for the PSU. It'll cost you less than $50 to get a quality unit.
If you have that much money to blow, I'd do a 4850 or a GTX 260.

I meant $200 for both the PSU and the card together. I think the 4850 wont fit under my budget.
