    Default Thinking about upgrading

    Right now what i have is
    Intel Pentium CPU 3.2 ghz(2 cpus)
    2994 ram(running XP I have 4 gigs in though)
    Nvidia Geforce 9800GT 512 mb

    Am i missing anything? If not what should i upgrade first. I wanna try to get FFXIV to run decently on my computer.
    I was thinking about getting windows 7 so that i can use the full 4 gb ram. But idk I'm not exactly a comp wiz

    New CPU and win7 64bit. 32bit is capped at 3.2gb usable ram.

    The CPU will require a new motherboard unless you want to throw money away.

    There is a new series of graphics cards coming out end this year/begin next year so you might want to wait rather than upgrade it now.

    Soo... budget and are you able to put a PC together by yourself?

    I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.
