Advice on Graphics Cards

[ispano]

I think I'm gonna go with gtx, and upgrade my system over time when I get the cash. It's kind of hard, what with having so little spare cash to play with, but I just want something for my PC that will show the game decently. You all have given awesome advice on the subject and I do appreciate it. Just one question: Would it be cheaper to upgrade the system or buy a new computer decent for gaming? Keep in mind, I have NO IDEA how to upgrade a system myself, so I'd likely have to pay someone to do it for me. ^^;

If you're dead set against learning (It's not THAT difficult, you just have to actually try to learn it, most people won't) do you have a friend that knows? Typically building it will get you a better system for the money, mainly because you can pick and choose the exact components, hit sales, etc.
