ok before i start this is my current setup...
An HP a520n
XP SP2
AMD Anthlon
160GB 7200rpm
1GB ram
Geforce 6200 OC (i know its not the best)
ok let me try and make this quick....i currently play CS:S and thats it!...not sure if i should just upgrade my video card to a X1900 XT and my ram to 2GB or should i build a new pc.
the thing w/the new pc is that my budget is $700 at the most, and thats not including the case since i already have the case. Here's the link to my current case i have purchased....

can anybody let me know what processor can i upgrade by looking up my current model of pc i have. the model is listed on top of this thread. but im not sure if thats necessary if i upgrade my video card and ram.
i know most of you guys say new build...but would it really make a difference? i dont do much but play CS:S on it and browse the net...nothing like 3D rendering anything.
Thanks in Advance
