On looking at your specs,,all i can say is,,why bother? Only upgrade i'd suggest is your CPU. And the only reason i say that, is because i just bought(upgraded?),my CPU to a lowly AMD XP 1700 with JIUHB stepping and punched it up to 1700Mhz(XP2000+) and it runs at 42c and very stable. And you can get it(if you hurry;) ) at newegg for us$53.00 with free shipping!!!
Bottom line? Money ain't everything,,ya' know? :D
walker2009: Personally i prefer AMD because of price/performance ratio compared to Pentium. No flaming here please as i have both AMD and Pent. Also built hundreds of both. Check out this link to see what you might configure and the cost of product:
