Hi

What do you use this PC for? a question we would need to know before recomending what to update.

What motherboard make and model do you have?

What type of old monitor? CRT or LCD, make and model would be nice, but if CRT then good LCD is the way to go.

CPU speed seems fine for most jobs and tasks, how full is the 500GB HDD?
2Gb of ram is also not bad.
GF9600GT is also ok for most games.

My vote's the monitor! Everything else seems fine for now. Go for the ram next, then the Hard Drive. Unless you do A LOT of downloading of songs and games, the 500G HD should be more than enough for anyone.

It´s mostly used for playing.
Motherboard is ASUS P5B

By old monitor i mean like one of those big "boxes", no flat screen or whatever

And i dont think monitor means so much in performance.Might be wrong though.
