[Need Help] Upgrade time

[TheFreak]

I upgrade my computer every year or two and it's time I upgrade the ram and video card on this system. I'm not a computer hardware guy so if you can assist that would be great.

I did a scan and this is what my ram information came back as compatible with my computer;

Memory Type: DDR2 PC2-8500, DDR2 PC2-5300, DDR2 PC2-6400, DDR2 (non-ECC)
Maximum Memory: 8GB
Currently Installed Memory: 2GB
Total Memory Slots: 4
Available Memory Slots: 2

I would like to max my ram out while keeping it around the $100.00 range or so, maybe a little higher.

Video Card;

You Have: GeForce 9400 GT
Video RAM 1.2 GB
Hardware T&L Yes
Pixel Shader version 4.0
Vertex Shader version 4.0

Do I need to upgrade this? If so any suggestions?


Thanks in advance!

I would upgrade the ram with these babys. Newegg.com - CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9R

Your video card isn't really fast so I would upgrade that one too. Newegg.com - MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
