I am planning on upgrading my current system sometime in the next couple of weeks. The question I have is: Do I upgrade what I have, or would it just be better to build a new system completely? I need something that can handle video editing and gaming smoothly. If it is cheap enough to just upgrade, then what should I get? If it turns out too expensive, then I would rather just build a new system (any recommendations?). I'm willing to spend at most 400$ to upgrade. Any more than that, and it's just not worth it to me. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
My Current System:
AMD Athlon XP 2200+
40 gig HD + 160 gig HD
Mobo: MSI MS-6712
1536 MB DDR-SDRAM
Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 128MB
