What PC do you have now? Or, if you know, what are the specs?

Here are my computer specs (btw it is a very old custom built computer built in 2002 but compared to that it runs unmodded minecraft pretty well about 40-80 fps)
AMD athlon(tm) ll X2 250
Processor
3.23GHz, 1.75GB RAM
(not made in USA)

Also, my graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 4500, which i know is VERY bad. (It came out so long ago)

Well, if you're not able to spend heaps of money on upgrades, your best bet for cost-effectiveness may be to upgrade the RAM. You can get another 4 GB (2 x 2GB cards) for around $40 or less, much cheaper than a new processor or video card :P
If I were you, check how many RAM cards your motherboard supports and over how many channels; If you have 1 x 2GB card in now and the mobo supports 3-channel RAM, I would personally try an extra set of 2 x 2GB cards and see if that boosts the performance with shaders. Like Chris said though, the video card is definitely the biggest factor here as far as the frames go, but the extra RAM should give your processor a little more to work with. If you need suggestions for RAM, I'd personally recommend the blue Corsair Vengeance RAM (Got 8GB of it in my own machine); the heatsinks on top come at an extra price but the cooler the better as with anything inside a computer.
Hope it helps :)
