i would advise (from personal experience) that you spend atleast $750AUD (dont know how much pounds that is ) to get a PC that you wont be dissapointed with.

Yeah, you need more cash to get the gaming equivalent in a desktop computer. Save your 360 and game on! There's my $0.02

I'm not sure where you can buy parts where you live, but I'll use eBuyer as a source of reference.

What power supply are you using?

Your current parts are fine, but you will need a new CPU. I'd recommend a Phenom II X4: http://www.ebuyer.com/186428-amd-phenom-ii-x4-965-black-edition-3-4ghz-socket-am3-6mb-l3-hdz965fbgmbox

As for your GPU, you could fit in an HD 6870: http://www.ebuyer.com/279585-xfx-hd-6870-900mhz-1gb-gddr5-dual-dvi-dual-mini-displayport-hdmi-hd-687a-zhfc

I only play empire total war stragedy and aliens vs predator and couple of low games have 650watt and 32'' inch tv which i used on my old system

With a sempron you won't be enjoying playing new games. With your budget I'd say stay with the 360. You'd get more enjoyment out of it.

p.s. I play most of my games with a 360 controller nowadays.

I have a 360, and a PS3, the only reason I play any PC games at all is just because I like working with, and being on computers. Playing MW3 on xbox is the exact same as playing on a PC, only difference is you get to build your PC. So you have to decide, do you want to build a PC, or do you just want to play games?

 

[Snickerzz]

you should def. get a better CPU, for around 100 USD you can get a amd phenom ii x4 96 BE 3.4ghz
