Buy a new mobo that is compatible with at least Intel's Core2 Duo or having the new AMD chipset. P4 doesn't have enough horsepower for 1080p. Maiinis ka lang sa out of synch AV. If you stick with 720p, then just add more RAM and upgrade your video card to at least an HD2600 ATI or 8400 Nvidia.
Get at least 1GB of RAM if you're running XP. 2GB if you're running Vista.
Get an excellent monitor, kahit anong type (CRT, LCD, Plasma).
Get a decent set of speakers, kahit 2.1 ch. You may have to buy a separate sound card for that.
Pero eto unang-una mong gawin, get some high def contents and try them muna with your current PC.
