Upgrading my XPS400. Suggestions please

First off i'll tell you a bit about myself. I don't know much about computers. I know numbers like 2gb of ram, 3gz processor and 400gb hardrive. But when it comes to choosing the best video cards, processors and such i'm pretty lost. So i can tell you what i have and i need to know what to get. so here goes.
I have a Dell XPS 400 (bought in October 2005)
2.8ghz pentium D processor
ATI Radeon x600 256mb hypermemory Video card
1GB of ram
144GB of HD space of which i currently use 30gb

My question is: I want to upgrade my video card and buy some new ram for my computer. I think this will help me play new games coming out like Warhammer Online a bit easier without lagging and FPS slugging along. I don't know prices too well but the GeForce 8800 and ATI 3870 are around 160-200 dollars i believe. I'd like some suggestions on what i'm looking for in any upgrade i may get. and What else should i know before i buy? Sorry for the long post.
