    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?

    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

    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
