.......Lol....... I was just wondering if this piece o' crap could play like starcraft 2 and stuff. :o
 
No, Modern games like that would be unplayable, unless on extremely low resolution and very low settings.

:P Yeah, I agree... It's time to upgrade! (Oddly it plays WoW at decent settings but maybe I only think they're decent because I've never experienced better which is sad lol.)

Haha, I would go for (If you have the cash) an all round upgrade - Mobo (to AM3/LGA1156), CPU (to i3/i5/Athlon II/Phenom II, RAM (to 4GB of DDR3), GPU (to whatever you can afford, something >GTS250/HD57**
:)

If you were to upgrade, what would be your budget?

That's very balanced, need an OS? For the price of your Ice-q 5750, you could get the 5770 which is a bit quicker. Is this a gaming PC? main usage please.
 
It's primary usage will be Gaming, and I have a windows 7 OS, I hope that's compatable with what I have listed.
 
Ok, you do that, whenever you have the money, upgrade :)
And go for a GTX 460 instead if you can muster a bit more. Good luck!

Sorry, but you have to create your own thread for that. I can't help you unless you do.
