    The easiest upgrades would be another 512mb of RAM (80 euro) or a mainstream AGP graphics card like 9800pro or 6600GT (200 euro), but that processor will hold you back, another option would be a A64 2800+ and socket 754/939 mobo (for around 200 euro total)

    The main thing to consider is what are you going to use your pc for ????is it going to be gaming ...or will you do some video encoding or wil it just be web browsing ....these are the most important things to consider as its pointless getting yourself into debt due having a topend system that will only be used once in a blue moon ...for the likes of web browsing ...
