Help me upgrade my rig

Argo

Lifer
I have allocated about $500 to the system upgrade, and wondering what would be the best bang for the buck. The main purpose of the upgrade would be gaming.

Here's what I have right now:

P4 2.4 Ghz, with 2GB of DDR2 ram.
Geforce 6600 GT


I'm wondering what would be a more efficient way of spending that money. Upgrading to a Core 2 Duo MB/CPU and getting a slightly cheaper video card.

Or spending most of that money on a top of the line video card.

Thanks in advance.
