Looking for a good preworkout shake/supp

[m33]

I'm looking for a good preworkout shake/drink/whatever to help give a boost in general endurance and energy. I tend to get about midway though my workouts and start to get tired and feel completely drained. I'm not sure if creatine would help or not. I've been looking into Optimum Nutrition's Pre-load creatine complex mix. It seems to have pretty good user reviews and is a good price. I usually take about 2 grams of ATP/ribose about a half hour before my workout to help. Not too sure if its helping or not though. Sometimes it seems like it does, other times I notice no difference. I've also tried loading up on simple carbs or complex carbs before workouts and no real help with either. Any ideas? I'd like to keep costs at an absolute max of $1.00 per serving if possible for what I'm looking for. I'm pretty much just looking for something to help me power though my workouts so my results continue to grow.

preworkout, half hour before:
5 g creatine
5 g arginine

during workout:
1-2 g of beta alanine (see other posts about beta alanine side effects)
mixed with gatorade

caffeine before wo can also boost energy/focus
