Hey chops369

I suggest if you're gonna upgrade your pc you don't upgrade to an Intel Celeron. Personally, i don't think its the best processor to run games with. The Pentium or an AMD would be best with regards to gaming. Also, try getting a graphics card above a GeForce 6600....

Spyder, the Celeron is what came with the computer, and the best upgrade you can get is a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz, which, while it's an increase, I don't see as being worth it. If I were you, and you were looking to get into gaming at all, then I'd go with a complete build saving the HDD, DVD Drives, etc.

For $600 I just built an entire PC(already had monitor & hdd)from parts I bought on newegg. It's able to score over 10k on 3Dmark06(on XP, no OC'ing done)and runs all my games(including TF2)on max settings @ 1920 x 1080. The reason I'm mentioning this is to show what can be done on a budget so if you want some advice for parts/complete build, let me know. If you already have some parts and/or can't afford to spend 600, then I can probably put together a list of parts that will cost less and still be able to run TF2 and other new games very well.

Should be but you will have to turn the graphics down...
