Upgrade Spec Questions

[OSB]

Hello all, its been a while since i last posted.

I am planning an upgrade from my current spec (show in sig) to something which will allow me to tun up the eye candy (especially in BF2142) and a get a speed boost. So i am looking at CPU, MoBo, RAM and GPU, below is what i have planned so far:

CPU: E6300

HSF: Thermalright SI-128
Akasa AK-183-L2B Amber Ultra Quiet 120mm

MoBo: Not sure here, what would you recommend, i will be overclocking the CPU (hence the after market cooler)

RAM: GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C

GPU: Again not certain but am looking at the X1950 PRO


I welcome any suggestions improvements etc and i am looking to keep it around the 500 mark i think and one final question, will i neeed to change my PSU?? atm i have a 400W Antec SL400P see here http://www.antec.com/ec/productDetails.php?ProdID=04400.

Thanks for any help

kk, thanks for the replies.

The only thing i wondered about with my PSU is will it have the correct connectors for the new graphics card and motherboard??

Also what do you think i could get for my old parts if i sold them? (Sorry if this should be in MM, i'll post there if i should) The parts are:

2500+ Barton with Jet-7 cooler
Abit NF7-S
2*512mb Corsair pc3200
Sapphire radeon 9800 Pro

Thanks once again
