Suggestions on new computer parts

I would like suggestions on building a computer. I have some parts from my old computer that I will use. I have $375 to $400 to spend on a motherboard, 1 gb of ram, cpu, & case. I was looking at mobile chips. I have a sk7 heatsink which I can replace if needed. I am open to overclocking. I want to go as fast as I can and stay within my budget, or close to. Would an 754 pin Athlon 64 be faster than an overclocked xp mobile chip?
 
An A64 2800+ at stock speed is at least as fast as an XP "3400+" for games, and faster in some.

$200 at Newegg gets you an A64 2800+, chaintech nf3 motherboard. $130 for 1 GB, $100 for an Antec Sonata and you're done without needing to overclock or worry about stability.
