1. Make and Model: Gateway 5200S
a. Motherboard: Intel D915GAG
b. CPU: Pentium 4 2.80 Ghz
c. Case Form Factor: Gateway 6-bay mid tower case (ATX)
d. PSU: 400w
e. GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT, 256 MB
2. RAM: 2 x 512 MB, 2 x 1024 MB - all DDR
3. Disk Drive(s): 80 GB 7200 RPM SATA
4. Optical drive(s): 1 x DVD/CD
4. Image Quality: 1024 x 768, moderate concern about AA/AF and texture quality.
5. Case+: N/A
6. BUDGET: ~$150.00
7. OS: XP

I'm thinking I'll probably need to upgrade my PSU if I'm going to get anything too advanced. However, my gaming needs are not extraordinarily high - I'm looking to upgrade mainly for editing high quality, high DPI images (photoshop, etc.).
