Thats a pretty bold statement considering I dont think anyone here said "U ONLY NEED A NICE GPU". If you had read through the posts you would realize that most of us suggested a new rig, but he stated that he didnt want to spend more than $250 so that kind of puts a new rig out of the ballpark for him. That being said there are still alot of options for his rig without breaking the bank, options that will improve his performance dramatically. Right now the 3 biggest things he needs to look at is a new video card, more ram, and a better PSU. That 5000+ while not a powerhouse can still run alot of the games out there right now at more than playable speeds. Heck I played the first Crysis on a singlecore AMD Athlon 64 3400+ with 1Gb or ram, and an 8600 GT and it was playable at medium settings. I upgraded from that to a 5000+ with 2 Gb or ram and an 8800 GTS and that made Crysis run like a dream. My Wife's system at the time ran WOW at 85 FPS on a system with a 5000+, 2 Gb ram, and an 8600 GT, all at stock speeds no over clocking or anything crazy, so yeah considering his situation I think dropping more ram and a new card in there will help tremendously. Sure a new system would be ideal, but on his budget its just not in the cards.
