You can't really upgrade that PC with 1 of 2 items, the only thing you -can- get to a new PC is that 40GB Harddisk, but the cheapest 500GB Harddisk is about 40 Euro here in Europe...
Just look for a cheap total upgrade:
- Cpu: AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition 3.1Ghz AM3 Socket -> 80 euro/dollar
- Mobo: Asus M4A785TD-V EVO AM3 DDR3 [Integrated Graphics + Sound] -> 90 euro/dollar
- Ram: Kingston ValueRAM KVR1333D3S9 1GB DDR3 -> 30 euro / dollar
- Harddisk: 500GB Seagate Barracuda SATA HD -> 40 euro/dollar
Total: 240 euro / dollar
Cheapest upgrade I could find for you, parts are quite fast, and you can upgrade it a lot more if you want:
- More powerfull AMD AM3 CPU > Anything what's in your budget, but this CPU is already fast enough for maple -by FAR-
- 1GB Ram > 4GB (30 euro per GB)
- External Videocard (PCI-Express) > Anything what's in your budget, just remember, maple isn't GPU dependant, it's all CPU power...
