Yes, it's time to upgrade.

I'm more of a gamer than any thing, so video card/motherboard is priority. I'm not too swift with hardware I might add.

GeForce FX 5200 PCI (Yes, PCI)
My mother board has no AGP slot!!
AMD Athlon 1800.
384 RAM.
Windows 2000 SP4.

I don't have too much money to spend, but I'm looking to get a new motherboard(a must) and ATI Radeon 9600.

Any one have any idea how much a motherboard would be? A decent and reliable one atleast? And is the 9600 OK? I'm looking forward to play Half-Life 2...

Thanks!
