Gamecube or PC bits?

I coudl get a better processor, faster RAM and better mobo, or a Gamecube.
The Cube will be about half the price, but then i'll need to get games, whereas I already have quite a few PC games.
I don't "need" to upgrade my PC (XP1900/512MB RAM, GF4), but I want to do some proper overclocking.
I also really want a GC though :/
The Cube won't come with any games, but it's £79, rather than the £130 most are with 1 game. I could also probably get some 2nd hand games.
The PC bits will be about £60 when I seel some of my old stuff, but if I don't get the PC bits, I'll be about £40 up, so the GC will really only cost about £40~50.

So, do I go for overclocking bits for my PC for £60, or a GC for £50 with no games?
 
gc

Everyone NEEDS to experience Metroid, Mario, and the new Zelda. Also Super Smash Brothers is a kewl game for multiplayer.

PC games are fun, but there's nothing like piling 15 or ur friends around and having an all out tourney in ssbm.

Get the pc GC.

Your OC will have next to no affect on your fps with the specs you have. Sure you'll get an extra 10fps or 20fps if your REALLY lucky with the OC but whats the point man? Your hardly going to notice that if you run everything at 1024x768. If you run at higher res of 1600x1200 you'll notice a slight difference when the scenes are really busy.

Go GC and get a few games.
