that configuration looks good id probably do that but idk i mean I have like ram over here now its pc3200 ram and id like a quad core processor and that video card is nice to. instead of using that ram bump off 105$ can i use my ram? its pc3200 i mean i suck at building pcs i mean i can but id rather let a professional or someone who knows exactly what they're doing do it. you know what I mean.

pc3200= ddr ram

Your going to use ddr2 in almost any new rig build nowadays.

You can go with the build mentioned above but right now you have a pretty nice rig. You could make the switch to a quad core and upgrade you video card later.
