Now im really going to confuse you. The more chips you have of ram it will start to slow down the system
Maxuim ram you'll need is 1Gb as this is plenty, even for gamers.
I assume your not a gamer so the video card you have is good enough. That video card will play fairly recent games till about late 2003 / early 2004 at a good rate.
As im only giving my opinoun it will differ from others..
Same as a car engine. It's as strong as your weakest link.
Id be more inclined for a better quality motherboard around the $150 mark.
Lower the ram down to 512Mb ( even 512Mb will play a fair bit of games ).
Video card, leave as is.
A good cheap 17inch LCD monitor ( CRT are no were near as good ). Samsung is a good brand. ( If getting a LCD double check the dead pixal warrenty )
The hardrive you have is good, id get a Seagate ( they cost $5 more ) but then you'll know the bearings won't shit themselves anytime soon.
A Case is a case, the more expensive ones don't dent as much when you hit it. Same as with power supply, on further note i would recomend at least a 300w psu. ( just have a look in the case )
Cpu is awsome. That will last you for ages on end.
Well this is all my advice and opinoun, wether or not it just went over your head ( due to not making sense )
But i hope im of some use.
