I would say what you have is good anuff, people will say AMD's are a lot better for gaming but i reckon if you got a newer gfx card you would be fine (6600gt maybe, along with 2gb of ram & a 3.4 cpu would be great)

yea gfx card is the main slowdown here. you will get more benefit from a gfx card upgrade than the cpu upgrade
but if you got the cash you can't go wrong with the amd 4000

that new geforce 7 looks the shit and is probably about as much as the amd 4000

Without a doubt what you have is a good setup, just change the graphics card .... The AMD is better than what you have but if you want to change over your gonna need a new mobo, psu as well as the cpu, so it would work out cheaper if you got a high end AGP card (6800GT/ultra, X850) for your present p.c which is well up to the job :)
