yup. if you have the budget, get a whole new system. no point upgrading. New parts may be cheaper too.

But, other than your Hard disk space, you actually have a better system than I have! LMAO

From the looks of it all u need to do is get a bigger HD and maybe a graphics card and your system would prolly be decent enough, at least for me

The Athlon XP 2000+ series are considered to be very old for gaming. The rig is fine for a mini home server or a firewall machine, but not the latest games. It's much easier to do a full upgrade, and to the Core. And make sure you save enough of money to do so. New stuff comes too quickly so plan your PC and don't buy in a rush.
