Question: Should I upgrade my vintage 2004 "game" PC with a $120 video card (HD 2600XT AGP)...

or...

Just buy the games I want for my Xbox 360?

I don't play many games (just Valve games...Half-Life and Left for Dead and the like).

Left 4 Dead 2 told me it my video hardware was below minimum levels...but still runs (barely!).

For this game above, I'm stuck...I already pre-bought it for the PC via steam...

...but for future games I am leaning towards just going the 360 route.

Unless I could buy a vid card REALLY cheap, I don't want to throw money at a dead platform (AGP is dead now).

Any thoughts?

THANKS!
