I have recently ordered a new PC with pcs and this is the old one. The 8800 GTX's died a long time ago and now there is a single GTS 250, the raptor also died and has been replaced with standard 120gb drive. When i get my new PC i would like to upgrade this one for use elsewhere. Anyone like to advise how best to upgrade...
cheers

What is it going to be used for?
Edit; looking at it, the best things to upgrade would be the RAM to 4GB and the GPU
