My current comp has just died so i think the day is dawning to build a new one, i already know what i am getting for this comp however i am thinking about replacing the parts of my dead computer to get it to a usable standard.
Currently one stick of RAM has been fried which i will replace soon with some more and either my motherboard or graphics is at fault.
The parts i am wishing to replace are my stick of RAM and my Graphics card to much more powerful alternatives whilst spending as little as possible.
The 2 sticks of RAM are both DDR3200 512Mb which i will replace with one stick of this:

And my current graphics card is an old Geforce 6200 AGP (128Mb) to which i would like to upgrade to a cheaper card (if i can get one) off of the bay. for this purpose i am thinking a better card which wont be too expensive such as either a Geforce 6600/6800 or Radeon X800.
Usage will be for slight gaming for 1 or 2 months until i have enough money for my newer computer and this system will retire to easy days surfing the web and sending emails.
The gaming that i would be playing are as follows (1024x768 res with most/all settings on the highest):
Far cry, Half life 2, Counter strike: source, Other various games that use the source engine and other games from 2004-2006.
Last thing is for a price check for the following components on the bay:
Geforce 6600GT
Geforce 6800GT / ULTRA
ATI Radeon X800 PRO / XT
1Gb/2Gb DDR3200 RAM (any brand will do)
~400W PSU with a 20pin Adapter for my motherboard.
Just ask me if you need any other information
