Post Help need some suggestions for upgrade

Hi guys for my birthday i'm planning to upgrade my sig rig with a HAF 932 and a Silverstone Element psu

But I was thinking I might be able to go for a little bit more of an upgrade by either upgrading my ram or getting a gpu but i'm a bit lost here are some different sites where i could buy from:

www.einfo.co.nz
www.playtech.co.nz
www.pbtech.co.nz

I have up to about $150-$200 if the one that you recommend is not there please go to www.pricespy.co.nz and look at the cheapest price

Links always help

All help is much appriciated

You use integrated graphics now?

So you are getting the HAF and Silverstone PSU (good stuff!) and then you have $200 left for other stuff?

Edit: just noticed the incredibly high prices. Never mind. I'd say either go with a lesser case and PSU so you can get a decent videocard and some 2x2GB. Or just get the case and PSU and save up more. What do you use your system for mostly?

yes i run intergrated graphics at the moment
i'm getting the HAF for$280 and Silverstone Element for $150 and then i think i might have 200 left over because someone is giving me the HAF for my birthday
idealy my uncle with give me his 8800

or should i get a new motherboard so i can learn how to overclock that would be cool there are some on www.trademe.co.nz that are cheap but i might be able to get a little bit more money if it was for a motherboard
