Could I get some help please with some spec for some gear that will go together well and is optimum for 3D gaming. Alas I only have a small budget but I am happy to keep my current monitor.

Got £500 ish to play with (would consider a little more if an item that would give noticeable difference). Ideally Nvidia. Happy to overclock. I need it to have 2Gb ram. HD size is not a problem, currently only use 40Gb.
 
Just keeping monitor ideally. I have a Geoforce FX 5600 which I suspect is getting a bit long in the tooth but would consider keeping that on a temporary basis if needed to make the rest of the gear better. Will need a new case and powersupply etc.
 
Current HDD is a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 120GB UDMA133 (6Y120L0), could keep this if any good still?

Might justify to myself £500 something but not so keen when its £600+ :)

Worth keeping the video card that I currently have or do the current ones make that a silly idea?

I am a bit leery on anything other than Nvidia as the main game I play is Everquest and it seems geared to that.
