You might need an entire system upgrade based on your specs. But your computer shouldn't be too bad. Check the specs of your system.

The graphics card is what mostly affects gaming performance, right now integrated graphics have a very hard time playing games. Get a new graphics card.

It depends on your graphic needs. And the resolution/screen size of your monitor. Generally, the 9600GT/8800GT is good for almost everybody, if you can afford it, that it.

$180-$220

This technology is some of the newest stuff, but still, in terms of value, these two cards are still the best.

Depends, lets say you upgrade your ram, it might cost more if its DDR.. if u put in DDR2 your motherboard might not be able to support it..

So then you gotta change the motherboard, but most likely the processor..

If your going for intense gaming you should get a new PC

I'll probably make up a nice setup for you, unless you don't plan on buying right now.
