If you have to spend it today I would go hard drive.  and video card you get today wil be out dated very shortly.  At least with 100 bucks.  You should be able to find about 200Gb drive for that.  Or you can look into more ram for the existing machine.  That would boost performance.  Vista will use up to 4GB,

vista might use up 4gig but my mobo won't.. 2 gig only and i have a gig and half already... actually i went out and found an ati radeon x1550 for $65 cause the box had a dent in it and i poketed the rest... now i can play silent 3 and 4 at least.. prolly halo as well
heres what it looks like
