Problem
My computer lags when I have multiple pdfs/words/browser (<10) open and when I'm switching between them. Also, the browser lags when I have multiple tabs with video loaded on each.

edit: It also won't be virus as I just did a fresh install on my computer, plus I always make sure I don't have unnecessary program running in the background.

Computer specs
ASUS LGA775 motherboard (http://support.asus.com/Specificatio...kwxUzJky3&s=22)
Windows 7 Pro 32bit
115/230V power adapter
2 GB DDR 2 ram
Overclockable Pentium D 2.8 Ghz
GeForce 6600

Parts that I have
Corsair liquid cooler for overclocking
GeForce 6800

Question
Should I keep what I have and add more to upgrade, or build/buy a new one instead? Money's most important, so I'm looking for the cheapest way to keep my computer going for another 5 years.

I don't do gaming/graphics or any high performance thing on my computer. I see myself using it for email, word, work, youtube videos, etc. for the next 5 years.

What would be your advice? Thanks!
