Answer 2

Get a new graphics card; the other components are fine (Well, good :p), you just don't have a dedicated graphics card, which is the most important part of the system if you want to play games.

You'll have a PCIx16 slot so all new graphics cards will work with it, basically. I suggest getting something like an ATI HD 4850 if you want something relatively "cheap" and still do all that you want. Getting a card like that means you shouldn't have to upgrade again for a few years.

Answer 3

Just make sure if you go with a 4850 or similar high-end graphics card you upgrade your power supply, too.  450w is enough for integrated, but not power suckers like the 8800/9800 series or 4800 series cards.

You do need a new graphics card for that system, though.  An x1250 will let you play most games that are out, but you will have to put them on the lowest settings and resolutions.  They'll look like c**p.
