Well how much are u going to spend? If u have more money then I could upgrade that pc a lot  looks good though except for the graphics card. The new cards are coming out this month I believe and the prices should drop so just wait and get a better card.

Well, for a gaming PC I would drop the 56k modem and get gigabit NIC instead. On the graphics front prices will be falling in late april/may when the next gen cards come out, keep that in mind. Have you considered going Athlon64 or is that out of your budget? A gb of RAM will come in handy if you gots the cash.

yah 1 gig of ram would be good, only about 70 bucks more and like I said wait for the new graphics cards to come out; there are going to make the prices drop a lot, I would recommend atleast a 9700np right now though. The 9600 IMO is going to be out-dated soon. Have fun and make sure to post pics of it when it is done
