9500GT 512MB for $45.00. This will be a decent improvement on your 8400.

3Gb of RAM seems to be more than enough if you are not a major gamer.

Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8GHz for $120.

The only thing about the Graphics card is that I only have a PCI card slot and a PCI-e x1. So I was and am very limited with the picking of a graphics card.

Ya I know. I need to get some more money and upgrade all at once. For now it will just have to do though. Thanks for all the help. I learned alot about what I need.

Ok, well I only have a Pentium 4 Processor, but I am looking into a new one. Any suggestions for that? And I am not a major gamer, but I will be upgrading the graphics card soon if there are any suggestions on that. I only have a PCI slot and a backwards PCI-e or what looks to be that. Not sure what to call it (it goes _____________ __, as for the slots that the connector will fit). Also my RAM will be upgraded by another 2GB soon as well.

Are those any good? thats what my computer is at right now and I just wanted to know if by upgrading and only putting $80 into it if those specs will be able to run any of the new games well.

What is it? What does it do? How can I find out if I have it?
