Help With New PC Spec

Hi guys, I am looking to upgrade my PC soon. I have been searching around to find components, and have come up with the spec below. I have about £300-£350 to spend, and will be used for playing counter-strike, and college work/internet browsing.

AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (2.4GHz) Socket AM2 Retail - £59.52

MSI K9N Neo-F nForce 550 Socket AM2 PCI-E DDR2 - £46.39

Sapphire ATI Radeon X1300 XT 256MB DDR2 - £55.99

Crucial 1GB kit (512MBx2) DDR2 PC2-5300 - £44.99

Seagate 160GB 7200.9 SATA II 7200RPM - £36.69

I was told that I could get better parts (for the same) on the For Sale section here, but I can't find it

It's more than I can spend/stretch too.

I could spend more, if I can sell my old PC. But I don't know what it's worth

Intel Celeron D335 2.8Ghz
nVidia GeForce 4 MX-4000 128mb
450w PSU
512mb DDR 2700 RAM
80gb 7200 HDD
DVD/CDRW Combo
Floppy Drive
Case

I bought it 2 years ago.

If I put it up for £140 + how much to post? then I would have about £400 to spend.

I would be selling as a whole system. Would I be best sticking it on eBay? or in the local paper?
