My computer isn't handling the newer games that well anymore, so I think it's about time I upgrade. I've already got the optical and hard drives, and I have a Hewlett Packard case that should be ok until I save up some more for another case.
Here's what I'm thinking of getting to upgrade:
Motherboard
Asus A8N-E Motherboard, Socket 939, 4xDIMM, DDR, PCIe-16, 3xPCI, 2xPCIe-1, 10xUSB2, Audio, ATA, SATA, RAID, ATX
(http://www.ascent.co.nz/ProductSpecification.aspx?ItemID=339635)
CPU
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ CPU, 2.0GHz, Socket 939, 32/64-Bit, ATX, Retail pack with fan
(http://www.ascent.co.nz/ProductSpecification.aspx?ItemID=335450)
Memory
GeIL 1GB, DDR2-SDRAM, DIMM, DDR2-533
(http://www.ascent.co.nz/ProductSpecification.aspx?ItemID=338703)
Video Card
XFX PV-T43G-NDF7 Video Card, GeForce 6600 GT, 128MB, DDR3, PCIe-16, TV out, DVI, HDTV
(http://www.ascent.co.nz/ProductSpecification.aspx?ItemID=345484)
or...
Sapphire Radeon X1300 Video Card, Radeon X1300, 256MB, DDR2, PCIe-16, TV out, DVI
(http://www.ascent.co.nz/ProductSpecification.aspx?ItemID=345565)
or...

(http://www.ascent.co.nz/ProductSpecification.aspx?ItemID=345568)
Can someone tell me if all my parts are compatible, will work well, etc. I also need to know which of the three cards to get, and what wattage PSU I will need to power all this stuff.
