Marceta, while it is never a bad idea to get a new system, I think that the card would have been a better option. Seems to me, by buying the new system, your paying more money, and getting less of a performance increase. Personally, I would have waited until I had the cash, then gotten the top of the line video card AND new RAM, a new motherboard, and a new CPU. Remember, with video cards, you can usually expect performance to increase on par with price. If it is made by the same company, you can expect a $200 card to be half as good(all things factored in) as a $400 card. This does not, however, hold true with just about any component. A $800 CPU could be 25% faster than a $300 dollar one. A brand new motherboard simply more fully featured, with little to no speed increase, or new DDR2 ram to be little faster than much cheaper DDR.

@monkey magic
Im up in bris. I got my system from Computer Alliance. However (@oenone) I only bought a CPU, MOBO, GFX AND RAM (the rest was from my other computers)
so i guess i didnt "buy" a new system i "got" one. I cant go into the exact price (i got a discount) but it was 1100-1300AUD ! Personally i believe that this price was a better investment as the Albatron 6600GT is an awesome card and the other parts are quite a bit better than my old ones
