Ok, well its been a little while since ive been to hardforums and I've come into some money recently and would like to upgrade my desktop PC which is now just something i put together from a newegg a couple years ago. Im excited for HL2: Episode One coming out and would love to be able to run it smoothly with some HDR lighting and other effects. As of right now my system specs are in my signature:

I'm not sure what to do with this motherboard, it only has AGP, is it worth getting something else, or what are my options? I'm looking to upgrade my video card, but would it be a worthwhile idea to get another gig of ram? I just wanna put some life back into my computer so that I can run half life 2, bf2, the new ghost recon, some newer games with some smooth beautiful graphics... Thanks for any help
 
maybe a 6800GT or 7800GS and a extra gig of ram....Kind of hard to recommend unless you give us a amount to work with...
 
I would say up to aaround 750$. And I wasn't really sure if it would be worth it to put tha tkind of money into this system or if it would be better to scrap the whole thing and build anew... Any further suggestions?
