Well PC seems to struggle a bit here and there, and would generally like it to be a bit quicker. I play games like BF2, CS:source.

Current spec is this;

Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 "LGA775 Allendale" 2.00GHz (800FSB) -

GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Dual Channel Kit (BL2KIT12864AA663)

Lian-Li PC-7 PLUS II Aluminium Midi-Tower Case - Black

Samsung SH-S203BEBN 20x20 DVD±RW Dual Layer Serial ATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM

Samsung SpinPoint T HD320KJ 320GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM

Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-520HXUK)

Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3 Motherboard

Does that seem ok? I bought it a year or 2 ago now. Everything is standard and not clocked as i dont know how to do it nor had the time to find out.Running windows XP aswell.

Any suggestions for better but cheap parts to speed up/improve things?

Can i run 4GB of ram with XP, thought i'd need Vista? (which is somthing i dont want to change really)

Budget around 150 for whatever would get me the most bang for my buck. Eaither a new processor, or combination of GFX card and proccessor.

I thought my GFX card was good? was pretty expensive when i bought it! (I dont follow PC parts as you might of guessed. :D )
