Building a new PC, can you suggest a better spec for this price?

Hello all, I am new to this site (was recommended by a friend).

At the moment I have a P4 2.8ghz with 1gb Ram, and I am looking to build a new PC, I only want to spend around £200 in total, I just thought I would ask before I go ahead, and see what you guys think of my choices.

Can anyone suggest a better setup for the same price or less?

I've also not included a case or psu, are these parts worth spending lots on?

Thanks

worth spending a good amount on a PSU, a decent PSU will serve you well.

i cant recommend the corsair hx520w enough.

A good case for a good price that will last you might be something like a Lian-Li PC7-II

Good case for £60, will last you for aslong as you want it.
