So I think I will need to upgrade my processor to get the most out of the other components. I was thinking of getting a new computer when Vista came out, but I think it might be better to just upgrade parts of my current computer to save costs and vista is likely to have compatibility issues. You can see that I need more disk space. What size upgrade do you recommend? I think I will need to get someone to help me format the new drive because I want to move my current programs and games to the new drive.
I need to update all the main components really because if I update my ram, processor, video card and hard drive I will need a new motherboard.

200Gb drives are insanely cheap these days, games today eat around 1Gb average, if you can list your motherboard make and model and your CPU  (I assume it's an Athlon socket A) we'll be able to give you more suggestions.

If you're already thinking in upgrading everything it would be better to wait, since most of the videocards today are coming in PCI-Express form and if you get the AGP version to fit your old motherboard you will be very limited when you need to upgrade it.

I upgraded to a motherboard with an AGP slot to fit my old card and save, I needed to upgrade my video card too and I already knew what card I wanted and it came in AGP version too but now I regret it, since the newest video cards only come in PCI-Express form. My 6600GT will hold on for a while, but when I need to get a better one I will have to upgrade the motherboard too.
