| well, drop $200 for those games, so we're at 800 bucks. I hope your ram is ddr2.
quadcore mobo for 160, core 2 duo proc e6600 for 266, that leaves 374. i assume you can scrounge up a case, but we still need a 750w psu, that's 160, which leave us 214 for the video card.
With that we go mid-range and get the 8600gt video card for 150 -180 bucks. we can always upgrade later. that leaves us 60 bucks for a nice mouse.
to sum up:
quad core mobo 160
core 2 duo e6600 266
750w psu 160
8600gt 150
My recommendations are to wait about a month for more mid-range dx10 cards and the processor price drops.
