Ok, I got $600 to upgrade... What should I get... Currently I am thinkin...

AMD x2 3800 ~$130
MSI nForce 550 ~65
1 GB of GeIL RAM ~110
Foxconn nVidia GeForce 7950GT 256 MB ~200
Rosewill 550 Watt ~50

All I need is... CPU, Mobo, RAM, Vid Card, PSU if needed... Only need one 1 GB of RAM for now, I'll be buying another gig after christmas.
Already got HD, Case, Sound Card etc...

512 MB of PC2700

Apart from the very budget PSU it's a decent looking list.

An alternative list would have
C2D E6300 ~ $181
Biostar TForce965PT ~ $105
XFX 7900GS 256MB ~ $140 after rebate
FSP Group 450W PSU ~ $54
Same RAM ~ $110
Or about $590 total.
With a 7950GT video card that list would be $650.
