If you want a good gaming rig, you need 2 or more gigs of ram, a dual core, or quad core processor, and a good graphics card, which I mentioned above.
In all, your looking at a total of..
400 some dollars.

Hehe, every time you post in something computer related you promote the 8800gt. (I don't blame you
)
Ok, back on topic. The graphics card all depends on your resolution & size of your monitor. You won't need much to power the newest games on 1024x768, however you're going to need some extra juice if you play at 1920x1200. For the games you mentioned, anything above a 8800GT will be overkill at 1280x1024 and below. So the smaller your screen, the less you're going to
need to spend. You can't really do much with your computer right now, id just build a new one and keep your windows xp.
A $500 gaming pc is possible.
