You probabily want to get the Pro version of the Radeon 9600, and really should look into a better hd for a little more.

CPU AMD ATHLON XP 2500+ RETAIL $90 NewEgg
Memory Buffalo Technology 256MB PC3200 2 piece $90 NewEgg

I think i will probably stick with this
it is a good setup with a cheap price cause you get to knock out that video card
Unless u see something i am missing

Gah, no overclocking means that 512MB crucial PC2700 will hold someone over perfectly fine! lol and the 2600+ is a lot faster than the 2500 when you do not overclocking, but whatever.
