could possibly drop the gpu for now n upgrade later to save money, your card isnt the best but lower resolution n low graphics details most games should be playable i think? especialy if you stick to the older games (buy from steam n such, play the ones you missed out on hl2 portal n the like)

that way you can test pc gaming (edit see how much better it is) before buying a decent graphics card as the rest of the pc is usable for anything else youll do

i think whatever you get should be a decent step up from what you get at the minute, even the 2 links above
