For $600 get 2 sticks for DDR 3200 512MB dual, a nice socket 939 AMD mobo and a A64 chip.

I think that would benefit your system most.

If you have money left from selling your existing stuff, then buy a new Videocard with that (GF 6800nu or GT)

20gig wd hard drive 72000rmp
75gig wd hard drive 50.000rmp

huh? WTF is rmp? 72000? thats the fastest drive I've ever seen (rotational speed)!!!!!

DAMN!
I priced this at newegg:

A64 3000+ S939
MSI K8Neo2 S939 board
Mushkin 512x2 (1gb total) PC3200

all for around $430

I'd say skip the videocard for the timebeing; get better memory, a case, better HSF, a GOOD psu, and maybe a 3200+ with the $170 difference.

note that all motherboard upgrades you must re install winXP or else it shits itself, i dunno about older versions
