I've finally decided to upgrade my sad unfortunate rig, to the best it can possibly handle. I am upgrading from

A Bestec ATX-1951D 200 Watt Power Supply to a Antec True Power Trio TP3-650 ATX12V 650W Power Supply

&

An 128mb ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Video Card to a 256mb ATI Radeon X1950 Pro XGE

also adding a second stick of 512 RAM.


Two questions,

1st. Did I make good choices when upgrading?
2nd. When I install the hardware, should I swap out the VC and PS and add RAM all at the same time, or should I do them individually?

Thanks, for any help.

Well if you want to give your self some room you can always take out the motherboard and replace the power supply. while the motherboard is outta the case you can add the ram and when you put the motherboard back in the case you can add the video card.

You can throw in all at once as the bios will simply pick up two peaces of the hardware and you will only need to install the drivers for your graphic card.Remember to uninstall your current graphic card correctly before adding the new one.
