Re: upgrading PC suggestions
I'm with Zingle - the only thing different from my rig is the GPU. I have a 9800Pro which runs HL2 & BF2 demo sweet as a nut. If your budget is tight, you can get a 9800Pro for about £80/90 now, but a more modern card will obviously serve better if you can afford it!

Re: upgrading PC suggestions
defo go with video card. I run BF2 on full with an XP2600 and a gig of 333mhz Ram an it goes just dreamy though a 6800GT GPU.
Prices are fallin quickly now on last years cards so keep your eyes open for a bargain
