Depends on how much you want to spend, or what you plan on doing with it. I would say upgrade the CPU, motherboard, RAM, and graphics.

If you just got the CPU and motherboard, you could just upgrade the RAM and graphics.

What graphic slot do you have? I'm guessing AGP, right?

safe to assume AGP.... um x1950pro is the best u can get thats like 200$
so thats too pricey... get a x1650xt, its open box on newegg and i heard its a decent price

this 1 ? Sapphire X1950Pro 512MB DDR3 Dual DVI VIVO AGP Graphics Card

The best AGP cards are in the $200 range. But IMO, if you're spending this much money, you should just save up for a new motherboard, CPU, RAM, and graphics because that rig is so dated. But you said you just got the CPU and mobo.

What resolution do you play games at? If it's below 1600 x 1200, then a 256mb graphic card will do fine.
