new to pc

Hey. I have this type of computer (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=c00576002&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN). I was wondering if I could upgrade the memory and graphics card to something better to play some of my pc games... i need some advice thnks.

The Hard Drive is fine, and the DVD drive is fine.

I don't know much about Intel Motherboards, but in order to play the latest games with playable settings, you will need a new CPU, Video Card, and at least an additional 1GB of DDR2 RAM. Maybe someone with more knowledge of Motherboards that are capable with the Pentium 4 series can help you out.

So basically if your motherboard does not support any type of Dual Core CPU, you will probably need a new one. And if it does not support PCI-e Vidoe Cards, you will probably need a new one.
