Upgrade - Spec Etc. Etc

Hey all, going for an upgrade soon. have already planned on getting :

Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail (CP-128-IN)

what i need help on is what motherboard to buy to go with it, and what GFX card should i upgrade to. Also should i bother to upgrade my memory, or do i have to anyway??

I currently have:

Athlon 64(754 - Newcastle) 3200+
Artic Cooling Freezer 64 cooler
DFI Lanparty UT NF3 250Gb
Radeon 9800 Pro.
Kingston HYPER X 1GB PC3200 400MHz 2x512MB

Another question, how much would i get for what i have on say... ebay etc if i was to sell it

I don't know a huge amount about Conroe motherboards as yet but the Intel one that OcUK sells based on the 965 chipset seems fairly popular. You will need new Ram because Conroe uses DDR2 rather than DDR, take a look at the GSkill DDR2 Ram which is currently on This Week Only for a bargain price.

Technically there is a price check forum here as well but since you don't have enough posts I'll try to give you a quick guess for each part but these are pretty rough.
A64 3200 Socket 754 - £40-50
AC Freezer - £5-10
DFI NF3 - £35-40
9800pro - £35-40
Kingston - £40ish
