What's the game you want to play first?

(By the way, please put nehkz instead of nehks in your signature, thanks.)

Maybe you should upgrade both.
Is it an old or new game? If it's a new one, upgrade the graphics card, most of newer games demand a good graphics card.

If you lag because of your graphics, then upgrade your graphics card.. In a gaming the computer the most important thing is your gfx card.

Nowadays you can pick up desktops better than that for next to nothing.
It'll be your cheapest bet in the long run.

Look around on ebay, your bound to find something.
Eg; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Studio...0722662073?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item4d009b56b9
There'll be cheaper stuff that that as well, you just gotta find it.

You honestly can't upgrade anything. You will probably need a new PSU and your RAM/CPU is probably going to bottleneck your GPU.

Don't suggest Dell, Dell desktop are mostly fitted with OEM hardware.

I wasn't suggesting the brand, I was merely giving examples of what kind of desktop he can get for cheap.
And dell or not, if he got that for under $400 I wouldn't be against it.
