What should I upgrade for gaming?

upgrade the graphics card first, you're running onboard graphics. ;)

probably the processor also, or you could overclock it. they say that processor is good for overclocking.
 
First you would probably need to upgrade your Gfx card,note you may need a new power supply if you do as its a pre-built machine.

jnskyliner34 mentioned that the processor might be good for overclocking and the e2180 is, BUT i doubt you will be able to because they lock the bios on Compaqs,Hps etc so no overclocking features.

personaly i would go to a computer store and have a custom pc built if you cannot build yourself ,not a big shop like pc world or Compaq themseles i mean like like those small computer stores you see around.

overclocking doesn't cost, but you will have to get a new graphics card if you are going to be gaming.
 
yeah 2/3gb of ram and card like an geforce 8600.

May need to upgrade the PSU. Check if yours is standard or not.
 
yeah that should be fine. No experience with dual core + Crysis though.

Crysis runs on my pentium 4 extreme very well, its 3.8 (overclocked)
