1. Try expanding your memory alot more, because there are alot of games that require alot of memory to be played perfectly, and then get more RAM...thats really big!!...i hope your video card is ok..it does sound like it kicks my video cards ass lol..and your sound card is ok.
2. well it sounds like you could get a better deal than that for $500. i actually came up with one from newegg.com. check this out [hopefully the link works] it is alot better, ddr3 memory, good video card, a motherboard capable of unlocking the cpu to a quad core. If you don't want to risk unlocking the dual core to a quad core look up amd athlon quad core. those thing are suppose to dominate too. http://secure.newegg.com/Shopping/ShoppingCart.aspx?Submit=view
