Upgrade the memory first, but that will probably need a mobo upgrade, but then your CPU could use a kick in the add, and then a more modern graphics card as well. Work out a budget and go window shopping. If you use newegg, then just pay attention to the specs. CPUs will only take a certain socket type on the mobo, which then will dictate your memory type, and from there, you just need to choose video card.
What I want is a way to replace my Xbox 360 with my PC. I would be happy with 720p and 60 frames. I don't need ultra high graphics.
I just bought another 2Gb of RAM. Is 4GB RAM really the maximum for a 32 bit system?
New stats
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512
2x Kingston 1024 MBytes PC2-5300 (333 MHz)
1x Kingston 2GB PC2-5300
Realtek HD Audio
Windows XP (32 bit)
Is this enough for what I want? Please keep in mind that I'm really new to PC gaming and while I don't have a problem with exchanging videocards or RAM I'm a little scared to put a new CPU in.
