First of all, exactly what are your current PC specs and what are you wanting to upgrade to? Remember 9 times out of 10 it actually works out cheaper to buy a complete new base unit or a PC for that matter. Take for example my old PC, it was an AMD Duron 950MHz, 256Mb PC133 RAM, 15.2Gb HD, 64Mb GeForce 2 MX400, 52x CD-ROM, 17" monitor and standard 300W Case, Keyboard, mouse etc. So by the time i'd caulculated how much it would cost me to upgrade it, it actually worked out cheaper in the long run to just build a new PC from scratch.
Also you could try and bribe your parents into buying you a new PC by saying what a good investment it would be, as they have such useful applications for the whole household.

Or offer to help pay for it.
