You do need alot. The best bang for the buck in my opinion would be a gig of memory...
Made a noticible difference in my old Anthlon 2500+.

Re: Rate my current PC
I would say that you really just need to upgrade to a more recent computer. Any totally stock new computer from hpshopping.com or dell.com or alienware.com or voodoopc.com would be very better than the one you have. Usually, you should probably upgrade every 3-5 years, more if your computer was amazing when it was first made, less if you got a somewhat bad computer in the first place. you should probably go for it, your's time has come.

Re: Rate my current PC
if you must avoid a full update work on the video card (if you want to play some better games) and work on ram.
otherwise get a new pc!

Re: Rate my current PC
Well, seeing as you live in Melbourne, have a look at the MSY Catalogue, http://msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf , the parts are exceptionally cheap there.
personally, i would just built an entirely new computer, save the case and HDD. though, that will probably only save you around ~300$, if you're not looking for a monitor/case/hdd, a very decent computer can be built for around 1.2k i'm thinking.
~Edit
Scrap that lol, for $796 at MSY you can get:
ASUS P5kPL G31 - $101
Inter Conroe Quad Core Q6600 - $327
2G Kit-667 Kingston - $66
320MB 8800GTS Gigabyte - $302
which is pretty damn good, if you're looking for more space, 320gb hdds are cheapest relative to the space you get.

Don't get a graphics card yet. Wait for the 8800GT, MSY has said it should be available next week.
btw, I tried to rate your computer, but I had an integer overflow.
