I don't think a PC upgrade so small would be worth it.

Pentium 4 is out-dated badly, its not 2 cores ... its 2 threads.

You really need 2 GB ram these days.

and ofcourse the GPU.

If you want games now, I'd go with the Wii, you might wanna set a higher budget for the PC soon though.

AGP is not the way to go. I would get the Wii, but if you really want to upgrade, you're gonna need a new motherboard with PCI-e slots, a new processor (definitely), 2 GB of RAM, and a better GPU. PC gaming is expensive unfortunately.

I suggest getting the wii seeing as the big three are coming out this holiday season.

Wii's are going to be hard to find around the holidays, so you might as well get one now and upgrade your pc later.

ps: Get Zelda: TP, Super paper mario, RE4: wii edition*if you haven't already played it*. And keep in mind that Metroid prime3

is coming out in August.

My system is very similiar to your except I have a slightly better grafix card... we both have very outdated systems... like someone else stated 250 wont cut it.

:|.... Not getting ready for Crysis are you:lol:

I thought about it, and think you should get the PC. More games and more value. The Wii isn't a compelling purchase right now in comparison to the library of a PC. TrueReligion_

well i just upgraded my ram from 512 to 1.5gb for $40 and got a 7600gt for $80 with that ssame cpu i play fear max without soft shadows

ebay is a very special thing

Any mid-range PC can play Oblivion, Deus Ex, System Shock, Baldur's Gate, Fallout, Riddick, Starcraft, Warcraft III, and other quality titles that can't be found elsewhere. It's a better value than a Wii, in my opinion anyways.

I'm not sure if he wants to play new games like Bioshock and Crysis, but if he wants to play PC games he missed out on, $250 is well worth it.

but lack variety.vashkey

Aside from fighting games, the PC library is very diverse--so I'm not sure what you mean by that.

So if one would have a Pentium 4 2.8 and he upgrades rest, he would stillbe doomed to play any of the new games?

Irony I can play all those except Oblivion.

I have a question will I be able to play BF2 on high settings? That will solve it for me. demon565

He would be able to play all those with the 360 and PC he currently has.

As for whether BF2 will run at max settings, what card are you planning to buy?
