I will not be keeping anything off of my old system, however. I'm giving it to my mom. So I need a complete system, top to bottom. I've found a site where I can get a complete system (including monitor) for around $600.00. That's also about the extent of my budget.
The specs for that system are:
Intel Celeron P3 1.3gh processor
256mg RAM
40gb HD
CDWR drive (32x I believe)
64mg video card
300w power supply
17" monitor
These are the components I "upgraded" in my selection. It also has a standard CD drive and a 1.44 floppy drive.
I'm hoping to order a new system within the next two weeks. If anybody has another site that offers complete systems in this price range...I would GREATLY appreciate you listing them for me to check out
Thanks again (and again) to EVERYBODY for tips and suggestions.

I would go with a true P3 instead of the celeron and I would swap the cdrom for a dvd drive which are now the same price as regualr cdroms..I would also go with a bigger harddrive instead of the 64 meg video card..a 32 meg card will work fine...however that is jsut my opinion.
