Hi!!!!
well I am planning for some major upgrade with limited BUDGET, I am planning to upgrade my Intel 865 MB to a Intel 945 MB and an XFX Geforce 8600GT 256 MB Graphic card and an 160 GB Harddisk.

Need your comment am I upgrading right and Oh I have a budget of only 12000 bucks :(.

I have a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz processor and 1 GB DDR RAM.

Do I have to buy a DDR2 RAM for the 945 chipset MB or a DDR RAM can do?

Also want to know about the G Series of Motherboards like G31,G33,etc does it have anything extra I should really go for. But watch the budget also.

My main purpose is for gaming and entertainment.

Need your help in deciding !!!!!
THANKS
