But the memory on that is only 384MB, wouldn't it be better to purchase one with more memory?

You have a Celeron, an 8800GS will do the job fine with that cpu, anything better and your just wasting your money IMO.

#5 no dur.... oviously u want more memory but ur budget is only 150

Intel e6750 / Asus p5k / 2GB Patriot / 8800 gts 640 / 250GB / Antec 900 Case / Corsair hx520 PSU

your processor will limit any video card you buy, so more ram wont really make a difference on it.

I dont play anymore

How do you find the promo codes?
