Better Cpu n mobo. At least AMD 3000+ or AMD64. Or P4 3ghz.

Use the ATI card, or get a 9800XT. Or get a X800.

Bigger harddrive or additional one. At least 120gig.

Mobo update would mean u could use faster ram as well.

DVD burner not worth updating to a SL drive yet.

Upgrade your CPU, Mobo & RAM to an AMD XP64 Solution. Keep your DX9 VGA card as it will serve you well for another year and will be working as fast as it can with the new CPU and AGP 8x mobo. I have just taken this upgrade path & to be honest, out of all the upgrades I have done before, this has been the biggest jump in performance. If funds allow, you can get a decent SATA hard drive for 50 quid.
