Well here are my computers specs:

AMD Athlon XP 3200+
512MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM
160GB 7200PRM Ultra DMA hard drive
DVD+RW
CD-RW
Integrated NVIDIA GeForce4 MX graphics with 64mbs

Do i need to uprade any of that... i do some gaming but not dedicated to it. Also i am interested in getting another computer and using this as my back up. My friend is going to make it for me and i don't know if i should stick with AMD or switch to pentium 4... He says i need to make my own choice on which prossecor. So what do you suggest?
 
That graphics card is the only thing that is in desperate need of upgrade. Get a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro or better. The rest of it is pretty up-to-date, although not top-of-the-line.
 
Well, if u want to play all the latest games, u r definitely need to upgrade your graphic card.
 
yes I'd say get at least a 9600 XT although a 9800 pro is preferable
also, the only thing after that would maybe be the RAM, from PC2700 to 3200 although you wouldn't really need that
 
Yeah just the video card. If you switch to intel, you'd have to get a new mobo too. And reformatt your hdd because of it.
