Default Advice needed!

OK then!

Currently my computer specs are:

2.0GHz Pentium 4
256MB SDRAM
Ge-Force II MX400/ 64MB
512k broadband


Running XP Pro.

Anyway, I think that is all that is needed for this question.

I am thinking of upgrading. First is the RAM, which is simple. Secondly, I want a new graphics card. I have around £200 (just over $300 US) to spend. I play a some online games, and at the moment the Ge-Force II is not doing too well! I was looking at the ATI Radeon 9800, but it is a little pricey: £250. What do people think?? Should I wait for the next generation? Will this one come down in price any time soon? The card will be used mainly for games, and some video editing (I am trying to learn!)

Cheers for any input!
