Kick the RAM up to 2GB and getting a better hdd, e.g., this Seagate, I'd do the CPU and GPU first along with the RAM. 2. 1GB of RAM will run you less that $50. If you're not overclocking A DATA makes good RAM

1) Yes. But it's probably not worth it to go for a processor more powerful than the one I listed.

Sadly, I recommend selling off parts from your old build to get a little more cash.
