I'm in-between PCs right now as I have put off building a new system until next summer. I have claimed my family's old Dell and have about 80-90 to spend on upgrades to last me until mid next year. I would like to do some light gaming, if possible light video editing, and increase the value of the system for resale. So I'm thinking of upgrading to 512-1024 RAM and a low end 9.0c card.
It's a dell 4550 with all it's original parts:
