I am thinking about getting a new CPu or gfx card, but i can't decide which to get first. The PC really used for playing ut2003 and surfing the net. I currently have a ahtlon 1ghz and a GF2MX-32mb card. I am trying to decided if i should go for a 1700xp or a 5200 ultra. I really don't know which upgrade would be better for gaming :/

Which doesnt help when i dont know what ive written here! DOH!
Definitely the gfx card, 1ghz is still enough to pull out a HUGE perf increase from a more modern gfx card (even FX5200/5600) and you can soak up some of the untapped gfx card power by using AA+AF and upping the details & res.
GF4TI4200 is the sweet pick at the mo, it offers perf in line with the GF-FX5600ultra & Rad9600PRO (minus their DX9 & great AA+AF) but yet it costs a good 50% less. Defintiely the card I'd rec. Cheapest of the good stores is easily
