just verifying, your PC is the old celeron system form 2001/2002 and you have an AGP GFX card. you can't reuse your GFX card. just get a system with INT GFX anyway. your harddrive would be horribly slow too, get a new one the rest you can reuse aside from the PSU.
if it is, then you'll be able to carry it over. though chances are INT GFX woudl probably be more powerful and wouldn't add to the overall sytem cost beyond negligeability. plus all the cheap motherbaords have INT GFX anyway do you plan on overclocking at all or do you plan on remaing at stock?
I'm not sure if i'll over-clock i might but ill make up my mind soon, can someone find a cpu that is hsf or whatever and a compatible motherboard?
CPU/HSF combo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819104245 33$ motherboard 46$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813135190 1GB RAM 65$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820141198 PSU 40$ after rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817103937 that would get a an OK base system and would get you up and running. Later, you can look into overclocking if you should desire and you have a fair amount of expandability, you can get a PCI-e GFX card, and you can swap a t better CPU if needed(albiet your CPU upgrade path si limited,) it's a budget build, so don't expect insane overclocking or hardcore everything. A new harddrive would speed things up too, though that could be put off
Check out some of the barebones machines at tigerdirect.com they have some good stuff at decent prices imho.
