I have an Inspiron 6000 with a 2GHz processor, 1 gig or RAM, and an ATI mobility radeon X300 video card (in a PCI slot)...everything is pretty old. My main objective for upgrading is to get modern games (like The Witcher, not super graphically intense ones like crysis) to run with decent settings.

What should I get? I hope to spend 1 - 2 hundred dollars on each component.
If there all expensive, and I can only get one or two items, should I get a new video card and processor?
 
Isn't the Inspiron a Laptop?

If so, don't bother upgrading. Generally, laptop graphics cannot be upgraded, unless they use the MXM standard, which your laptop doesn't.

More RAM might help out a little bit the key limiting factor is your video card. Best to just buy a new PC.

If it is a desktop, still don't bother upgrading. Your system is a bit too old and it's really not worth upgrading such old hardware. You'll most likely need a new video card, which will require a new power supply.
