Project M.C.POY-v2!

Hello guy Im having problems with my current computer (the one below) Whats the problem? well parts are broken ive done gheto fixes to ti so many times but im simply tierd of it. So to the point; I want to upgrade my computer but i will do it in periods of 3 months (hey we are in a depression) First of id like to upgrade my GPU, second my MOBO and finally my cpu. Im going with the gpu first because i can trow it in my pc and it will work, if i buy the mobo / cpu and they are intell then im left in the dark.

Could you recomend a gpu? i play mostly WoW and id like to have 60+ fps all the time. with high settings at 1680X1050 Its a 9800gt++ enough? i do play other games but with my laptops 9800gs everything plays fine so im guessing that the 9800gt++ will just pwon every game i trow at it. If you end up recomending the 9800 over a 260, could you recomend a MOBO to go with it? (i have 300 bucks to blow but the 9800 are just 100 bucks so i can afford a decent mobo with it, if i go for the 260 ill just buy that and use my asus for now)

The ati 4830 should play WoW just fine for $70. The entire 48xx series is excellent for the prices. I wouldn't buy any of the old nVidia cards though. If you want to get an nVidia get a gtx 260. You can get one for 160-170 if you look arround a bit. Not quite as good a deal as ATI at the momment though IMO.

Thanks for the info, what mobo would you recomend if i go for an ati? im thinking 3830 is a bit to low i do play other games or does compare to a 9800gt? if it does then im so buying that one.
