Hi, right now I have some money sitting here that I could use on a PC upgrade. I'm running Windows XP, an 8600GT EVga card, AMD Sempron 3400+ 1.8ghz, and 1.5gigs of GSkill ram.
I'm looking at two possible upgrades, a video card

GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16819103194
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane 2.6GHz
I will also be upgrading my PSU from a 250w to

To alot of people these upgrades probably wont seem significant, but I never spend much money on these things and to me I want the biggest performance boost I can get. It's for gaming, (Lord of the rings online, CoD4, TF2, world in conflict...etc). I am wondering if the video card upgrade would give me the biggest boost, or the processor.
Thank you for any input you can provide.
