    If your mom wants to buy you a new computer,buy a separate CPU.For 700€,you'll get an awsome OMFG BBQ computer with Vista,a great GPU,Great processor,2GB,etc etc etc.
    I'd accept!

    8800 GTX is MUCH better, but it's EXPENSIVE (well, duh) and your gonna need a new motherboard if you have agp. And about the CPUs, if you wanna overclock, Intel Core 2 Duo, if not,go with AMD Athlon 64 X2.

    Oh, and for a graphics card, either go for an ATi Radeon x1650pro or GeForce 7600gt
