You might want to think about the HDD though. If you've got an older board chances are it will be IDE only which may mean changing up to a SATA HDD instead. What GFX card are you looking at?
Also what PSU do you have? You might want to look at upgrading that while you're at it cos you might find that your old one isn't up to driving all the new kit either.

Indeed, and this, children, is one of the reasons that I do not like SH3. It's fun, but the dual core processor on my PC just isn't used to the fullest of its potential, and to add to that, SH3 takes FOREVER to load, despite the fact I'm well above the recommended requirements (loading a mission, that is; takes about 4 minutes!!!!). That's why it gets so repetitive. I can pretty much play one mission and then I'm done. Otherwise, it just wears my patience out.
