Question Need help what to choose

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my question but I need some fast help. Now I have a radeon x300 hypermemory video card which I would like to upgrade, but I also have only 512 mb of ram which I would like to upgrade also. Now I'm on very limited budget, and I need some help of what should i choose.

1)I could get 2 gb of ram and do not buy anything else.
2)I could get 1 gb of ram and have some money left to upgrade video card after few months.
3)I could get the video card and get a 512 mb of ram module to have a total of 1gb ram.
4)I could get the video card and save some money to buy 1 gb or more of ram after few months.

I really need an answer fast please. I want to play some games as soon as possible but I don't know what should I get to get the best performance for now. I am planning to get a cheap card like geforce px8500. So I would really like if anyone could help me as soon as they can.
Sorry for my bad English.
Thank You

Hi samorox606,
Welcome to the forum - good to have you here. I hope you will be on the board for a long time, and if there is anything I can do to make your experience better please let me know. Be sure that you have read the rules [ http://www.compuforums.org/announcem...post_message_1 ]. And please note - if you only ever intend on coming here when you need computer help, then we will not help you. Please post in other threads as well as your own, whether or not they are computer questions. And lastly, if you do care about whether CompuForums stays online, please consider a premium membership.

It would be useful for us to know what sort of games you intend on playing with the new video card.

I Would like to play something like black and white 2, oblivion, nfs: carbon, and maybe some other games that would need a better video card. So I don't know what to buy for now. Please help

I'd say go for the gig and then save a little bit more for the upgraded gfx card.
