You should upgrade the processor, lower clocked Athlon X2 really isn't worth it. Plus a 6000+ cost only about 75-100 dollars more than 3800+.
RAM I'd go with Patriot.
Video Cards not THAT bad :/ go for a cheap 8800GTS if you can.

Saw a PC at best buy today, full sized tower, sexy black finish, 400 dollars for

amd duel core x2 4800+
2gig ddr2 ram
500gig hard drive
nvidia crappy 6150 built in

it has pci express 16x slots, so you can upgrade for 100-200 dollars and make a mini gamer PC, small price, but will play all games at high/max settings. I would upgrade the graphics with a cheap card like the nvidia 7600 512mb or 7950gt the 7600 is now like 100 dollars or less onsale, so you could make a good PC for 500-600 bucks.

If anyone still has any intrest in this topic. Best Buy is clearancing all their current stock of computer laptops and desktops alike company wide to get ready for the Holiday shipment of computers. I picked up a Toshiba with a T5500 Core 2 Duo 1gb of DDR2 that is only 12" which is regularly $1299 for $799.

Actually, if you buy a cheap PC and 1337 graphics card, get something better than the 7600, my graphics card does a good job on all games ,but stranglehold, the game froze, my entire PC from nearly overheating, screen flashed, sounds beeped. I hit reset before my PC blew up.
