help with upgrade

[mugzy]

Ok, here is the story. I am currently running an xp3000+ with 1.5g ram and an agp ATI X1950PRO(512mb).

I have $350 I can use to upgrade.

My first thought is to get the best processor I can, new ram and a cheap mb with agp since the 1950pro is a descent card. I can always upgrade the MB with I get cash to upgrade my video. Thats my thinking anyway, feel free to tell me how stupid it is

I am looking at the AMD 6000+ x2 right now.

So, intel vs amd and a good agp vide card vs a cheap pci-e?

Most of the system usage with be for games.

Thanks in advance,

Mugzy

First rule of computing : Thou shall not buy a cheap mobo (quality, not price)
Second rule: Thou shall not buy a cheap power supply
Third rule: Thou shall not start AMD vs. Intel debates

Anyway, my suggestion would be a lower end c2d with a lower end board (stick with a good brand) and then work from there with the video card, at least this way you will be on a current platform with upgrade options
