Take it all apart and start again

If and when you get the money, your two biggest concerns need to be the video card and processor, because both are becoming dated fast. You can upgrade to dual core proc wise, so that shouldn't be too much of a worry. Video card wise, you may need to worry more, though, should you start to play some of the newer and more demanding games because it's going to stop being able to keep up with them on decent settings soon.

Well good luck with your computer. But if you wanted to know if those specs could play CSS and AoE III then you should have posted it in the PC gaming section where people wouldn't criticize the computer. Usually when you post specs on your new computer it in this section people will give their opinion on the actual rig. Anyways it should play those games fine. But I do agree that the 6600 GT is starting to show it's age, even for a budget card.

I should be able to upgrade bnoth though to good standerd though right? I meen duel core CPU and switch u the graphics card 9im using PCI-E) and i can run ok, not to mention i can always upgrade the ram ect

A dual core pentium is crap. They're not going to be making a lot more for that socket since 771 is comming out. Video card, very old and dated. However, I'm %99 positive you'll be in love with this machine (because you haven't been exposed to really good graphics). That is until you build yourself an AMD.
