Default Advice needed for upgradation

hi, every body.It's been almost 3 years since i bought i my PC.Now iam considering an upgradation.My current configuration is as follows:

Processor:AMD ATHLON 2400 XP
Motherboard:ASUS A7N266VM-SE
RAM:256 MB
Graphics Card:ATI Radeon 9200 SE (128 MB)
Sound Card:Sound Blaster Audigy
Speaker: Creative Inspire 5300

Now i need to have a new Core 2 Duo configuration where most of games available currently can be played decently.Iam currently not planning to change my graphics card.But i may change it in another 3 to 4 months.So please advice on the graphics option also.My budget is around 15000

ur GPU is AGP
so if u wan2 use it for sum time den u will have 2 buy a mobo dat supports both AGP+PCIe

such mobos r no longer released by mfg, so u will have 2 settle 4 a relatively older mobo
i had made an observation about a similar problem just today
u mite b intrested in taking a look HERE

as 4 d remainin suggestions regarding d other hardware 4 ur rig u shud look @ d first sticky in this section that has been started by our beloved always_prowlin_d_forum_in_stealth cheeta
