Default Gaming computer(for kind of cheap)

Just bought Battlefield 2 and Call of Duty 2 and my computer right now
just isnt running these games as good as i thought it would.

Asus board w/ 8xagp
AMD 64 3400+
radeon x850 pro
1 gb ram

I am looking to upgrade, but sticking with AMD cpu and asus boards.
And preferrably my radeon x850 pro video card.

Some website, either THG or Anand I think, did some testing and the
results pretty much seem to indicate that the processor doesn't make
that much of a difference above the 3000+ kind of level, esp for AMD.
So it might be better to upgrade your gfx to something like the newer
1xxxx series series. However, not a gaming person, I'm not sure if
they come in AGP flavour.

It is also probably a bad time to upgrade since AMD will be coming up
with the new TM2(or whatever they call it now) socket with DDR2
support.
