I am currently using a AMD 7850 + HD3850 video card.
Just got MW2 and looking to upgrade the hardware to get the best out of the game.

I am not a hardcore gamer by any means...so I don't need something fancy or top of the line.
If i were to pick 1 thing to upgrade, should I get a better processor or better video card? (Budget wise would be around $100 for either one, but I am willing to pay abit more for a processor upgrade, maybe $150ish)

I am using a 19" monitor (1280x1024 resolution), my goal is to play the game at 1280x1024, max detail/texture, 0AA, with at least 30-60fps avg.

And does anyone know what kind of FPS i can expect with my current hardware using these settings?
