Default Re: Please help me upgrade

You are buying a gaming comp, right?

All the components are incorrect except maybe the graphic card, you will need to change everything.

Amd 64 3500 Venice : 5700
or amd 64 3000 Venice : 4500
Venice is a highly overclockable chipset and these cpus even at stock will beat both those cpus in gaming.

Asus A8N E : 5500 or so

2 X 1GB DDR 400 Transcend ( UCCC chips, if not available then Hynix D43 chips)

DVD RW Sony, Benq should be ok but I advise Sony, bad expereince with Benq CD RW, a part of it is very sticky and can damage the cd.

A local cabinet PERIOD, your budget is very low so you can't get anything more than something which costs about 1500 tops.
PSU, atleast a Cooler master 430 for 2700
if you plan to oc a lot and all, then get something more power ful like Cooler mater igreen 500 or igreen 600

your graphic card is ok, but seriously do consider Radeon X1800GTO as well. try to extend your budget to accomodate a 7900GT, 17k +

HDD
250 sata II NCQ SEAGATE : 4200
300 : 4800
