I'm in the process of deciding on a new machine and would like to upgrade this one for my husband to use when I buy a new one and to use while I am in the process of building/buying the next one. He mostly plays games like Civilization, Age of Empires, and a ton of first person shooters. He'd also like to try Oblivion - will this pc run it decently with a new video card?

Motherboard: MSI PT880 Neo-SR (MS-7008)
CPU: P4 3.2
Video: GeForce FX5200 ( Definitely the most needed upgrade, I originally had a Radeon 9800 installed, but it died - need AGP upgrade recommendations)
Memory: 1.5 PC3200
 
Easy enough. I'll pick up a new video card and can watch for a good deal on a memory upgrade as well.

I'm also going to move it into a new case. I've hated this one for almost as long as I've had it - it's so lound. I'm looking at the P180 - any other suggestions? (Have a nice, new 500 watt power supply already.)
