Do you want to stick with AGP? The reason I ask is because AGP is being phased out and PCI-Express is the offering of today and the near future. If you upgrade the motherboard and CPU then you'll need to upgrade your video card as well. I suggest that you keep saving the cash until you can buy all three. I would also add that you might want to consider another power supply as well if your upgrade demands it.

That's about a $300 combo right there. Best bang/buck in my opinion. The video card is up to you unless you post here with a budget. But basically, spend as much as you can to get the best card.

Think about another 512MB stick of ram. If you want, think eBaying (is that even a word) those two 256MB sticks, and buy two 512MB sticks.

that's good ram though. Unless he's going to be doing some heavier gaming, 512 will be enough. Like Age of Empires III runs perfectly fine on 512.
