I'm planning to refurbish (with help) a 6 year old Dell Dimension C521 Desktop PC. The system has Windows XP Media Centre, 80Gb Hard Drive, 256MB RAM (DDR2), AMD 1.8GHz Sempron CPU. Intending to upgrade the motherboard to support 4GB (DDR3) memory, 2.4GHz CPU (either AMD or change to Intel equivalent) 500GB Hard Disk Drive & other superior parts for eventual running of Windows 7 Home Premium. What will I need & how much can I expect to pay?

You might as well build a new PC rather than try to upgrade this one. You won't be able to simply add in DDR3 memory or a new CPU with a different socket since none of them will be compatible with your motherboard.
