Yup. Expanding on my previous post, I can speak from experience on this. Get the video card first, IMO. That will give you much better performance sooner than if you go with a new CPU. You might be able to save a bit if you wait anyway. Currently, the XP3200+ is not the best deal for price/performance-wise. I'm not saying don't do it, but just know it's not the best bang per buck.
