Im looking to upgrade my sytem as this machine won't run the new games coming out. Im not a hardcore gamer but I occasionally like to try some of the new games out. In this particular case I tried to play Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and my machine wouldn't touch it.

Im looking at either an I3 or an I5 but as far as motherboards go I'm lost. There are just too many and I'm behind on the technology. I'd also appreciate any suggestions about ram and a video card to go along with this setup. I'm looking to spend less than $500 for the whole upgrade if possible. Thanks
