computer building dilemma

[Rapid Fire]

I was working on a comp, then i stopped for about a month or a month and a half and now I wanna get back into building it, right now I have:

tower- cooler master cavalier

motherboard- ABIT KV8 Pro

disk drive- rosewill combo 52x DVD rom

hard drive- Seagate Barracuda 160gb



im gonna get:

ram- www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=20-146-299&depa=0

psu-www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=17-103-706&depa=0




1. Is this a good setup still and is it worth still building on?
2. what kind of video card should I get with it?
3. what kind of cpu should i get with it?

The link for the RAM doesn't work by the way... Anyways, I would get this PSU instead, its a better brand, higher wattage and its cheaper. The motherboard is socket 754 if I am correct, and working with socket 754 is not worth it in my opinion.

Ok good.

Does anyone know a complete system setup that would be good for gaming?

Ok after researching ive decided im gonna get rid of the motherboard

so here what I have to work with:

case- cooler master cavalier

hd- seagate barracuda 160gb

cd drive- rosewill 52x dvd rom


now all I need is:

psu

cpu

video card

and new motherboard


anyone have any ideas on what i should get?

Depends on ur budget. Motherboard: go nforce 4 ultra if u don't need SLI. I'd go DFI Ultra mobo, really popular. I have Asus A8N-E and I love it. CPU: ask anyone, the 3000+ Venice core is awesome, X2 are good too if u got the money. Video: What do u want to spend? 7800 GT are $350 and a great price/performance ratio
