Get something like an abit nf7s mobo, 512 pc3200 ram, radeon 9500pro/9700pro/geforce 4 graphics card 128mb, Keep your 40gig drive, forget about your ram and old graphics card, and get a processor like the 1700 t'bred if ou fancy taking a hand to overclocking, or something like a 2600xp if not. Do make sure you buy a good heatsink, like a thermalright slk800 or similar, it will pay dividends.

i would stear clear of IBM hard disks, and get a 8meg cache one, if you want it to be fast, fast, fast.

wd are good

keep the ram to save money but get rid of everything elses (but the ram might cause problems, so for what £40 for some good ddr it might not be worth it)
