Tr1pin, after upgrading your P4 is still gonna be a HUGE bottleneck and even with an awesome 3850, you probably won't be able to play any modern games. CoD 4/5 will barely run and Crysis wont run at all. So to be able to use any of the power from the 3850, you will need to upgrade the CPU aswell. After upgrading the CPU, RAM and video card...your already going to be down a lot of money and all these new parts will not work in any new comp. Its really not worth investing in a dead format. You can easily build a pretty sick comp for around $500 USD.
