also note that if you sell your sdmem on ebay you can probably get 100$ for it sdram is in demand, there are many people still running on pentium 3 and before who'd buy it.
so that would take card of your memory upgrade (a good dual channel 1GB kit can be had for 90$ or so)
the other stuff you could sell but it wouldn't fetch a nice price like the sdram. proabably 45$ for the cpu 30$ for the mainboard, and 40$ for the gpu.
so total if you were to piece out your rig and sell it on ebay you'd get 220$ or so for it, adding to the upgrade budget.
