Ok so here are my important components on my current rig:
Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136074)
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145034)
Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115131)
ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131284)
RAIDMAX AURORA 2 RX-700F 700W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152037)
ATI Radeon HD 4650
I am looking to upgrade some things without breaking the bank. I was originally looking to rebuild but certain things are making me cut back on money. The Thing I really need is a bigger hard drive but I figured if it's possible I'll just add a terabyte onto is. I'm planning a complete wipe and reinstallation of Windows 7 after the upgrade so data isn't a problem and I don't really want to pay for an external hard drive.
So besides the hard drive (the main concern), the mobo and the ram are where I want it, but do you think it'd be wise and somewhat cheap to upgrade the processor and/or the video card? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advanced.
