What can I upgrade on this machine
 
you dont need a gig of ram for source. The source engine does not take all that much to run well. I played source on 512mb of pc2700 with a radeon 9000 pro for a long time, and it ran just fine.

If your looking to get into other more current games, then yeah i would suggest a gig of ram.

I would also go with a bigger power supply. People seem to think they arent very important, when they are one of the most vital parts of your pc. Under powered, and your not going to run at all, or very poorly, with big chances of burning out your hardware alot sooner.
