Upgrading mobo, cpu, video

[RicKuRuKuS]

hey guys i am considering upgrading from my setup below and I was wondering what type of card i should be considering... i know there is all this pci-express business going on and im not really sure if i should upgrade to that or stay with my stuff now. i know i want to upgrade my cpu to a nicer 64 bit amd chip somewhere above 3200+.. mobo isn't that big of a deal to me as long as it holds up and doesn't poop out on me.. any suggestions on what type of combos i should be looking for nowadays? im trying to spend under $350 but i doubt that is possible unless i find a good deal in the forsale/trade forums or on ebay..
