So, here's the deal: I need to upgrade my computer; What I need is a new graphic card, motherboard, processor and RAM memory. This is what I know right now about my current parts:

Processor: double Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.60 GHz
Graphic card: RADEON X850 Series (+ Secondary)
RAM: 1,00 GB

What I'm aiming for is a moderately fast computer, capable of playing games on high quality. I'm not looking for the top of the notch gear. The money I can spend is around 410$. Any tips?

EDIT: Sorry for the confusion. I don' have 4100$, I wrote wrong. I only have 410$. 4 1 0.

4 Grand? I spent under £500 (about $1000 at the time) upgrading mine and it's pretty darn good. So you've got about $3000 to spend on beer and games.

$4100 or $410? $4100 is about 10 times the amount of money you'll need, if you mean US dollars. What currency?

If it is $4100, you can almost buy God's computer.

$4100?!? I could build you four awesomely fast gaming computers with that. Mine that runs crysis on 30 fps only cost about $850.

Oh, fuck sorry, wrote wrong. I was caught up in Swedish currency, and accidentally put in an extra digit.

His profile says Sweden but since he didn't say Euros or Kroner (One of the Scandinavian's money. Sorry if it's wrong), so I assume it's USD.

I wrote in American currency, but accidentally wrote it in Swedish numbers. And yes it is Kronor we have as currency.

You should get 2 or 4 GB, depends on your OS are you running XP or Vista?
A cheap and good CPU is the Q6600 it's pretty cheap now and you can clock easily with the right motherboard, mine is running at 3.20 right now.
A good GPU is the Radeon HD 4850 or the 4750, both pretty decent and at a reasonable price.
