    Hey guys. I have had my current pc for about 3 years. I think its time to update it with fresh parts for the 2010 year of gaming! I need suggestions and guidance on what I should do to restore my PC to handle anything I throw at it.

    My computer specs:

    Processor, Bus, and Memory Speed Information ==========

    CPU Speed = 3002.395
    CPU Multiplier = 9.000
    FSB Frequency = 334
    Memory Frequency = 1002.000
    PCIE Frequency = 2500
    tRas = 12
    tRcd = 5
    tRp = 5
    tRc = 28
    tWr = 6
    tRrd = 4
    tRwt = 6
    tWtr = 10
    tWrrd = 0
    tWrwr = 2
    tRdrd = 3
    tRef = 0

    ========== GPU's Core and Memory Speed Information ==========


    GPU Core Speed = 600
    GPU Memory Speed = 725

    ========== System Voltage Information ==========

    CPU Voltage = 1.450 v
    Core Voltage = 1.500 v
    AGP Voltage = 1.400 v
    Aux Voltage = 1.500 v
    Memory Voltage = 2.000 v

    ========== Processor and System's Temperature Information ==========

    CPU Temperature = 39 C
    Second CPU Temperature = Not Reported
    System Temperature = 30 C
    GPU 0 Temperature = 53 C

    I have an antec 180 case, a evga nforce 680i lt mobo 775, a intel core 2 duo 4300 (overclocked at 3ghz).. A zalman 9750 cpu heatsink, a stick of corsair 1 gig ddr2 800, a seagate 7900rpm harddrive, a 600 watt ultra xfinity psu (sli ready), and a lite-on dvd-rw LH-20A1L.



    Thanks if you have got this far. Please let me know what I should ask for Christmas to get my computer back on its feet running.

    Well, how much are you willing to spend? Can't really make any suggestions until I know that.

    Sam's question not withstanding, I think a good place to start would be to swap out your C2D 4300 for a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz 12MB L2 Cache and at least one additional GB of memory.

    Since you're already OC'ing your memory by 25% you might consider upgrading all of your RAM and getting two 2GB sticks of 1600 MHz memory.
