Help me build a new comp?

Ok. The subject is kinda vague. Im essentially looking for some advice to upgrade from my p4 cpu /x1900 vid card and 3gigs of shitty arse ram to something a bit more... modern?? lol. I hope to pinch pennies if and where i can and budget if at all possible with anything salvagable in my comp. Plz pm if youre willing to help or feel free to post.

So the title of this thread should be changed to:

"Help me Sloppy build a new comp?"

I was waiting for the reply to his question, since I was wondering the same thing. Since it boggles my mind why you didn't post it here, I'll save my recommendations for the next guy.

I dont really have a budget. But i dont wanna spend an insane amount nor the min where the next game or two that comes out my comp will blow. Im essentially prepping for sc2 and want war/eq2 to run much better than my p4. I currently have a p4 3ghz / x1900 gt / 3 gigs ram... not sure what kinda harddrive and mobo but they are dated back to at least 2 or 3 xmases ago lol. dont think i need a case and def no monitor. im also interested in possibly being able to link my comp out to my reciever / cd player / record player etc if thats at all possible because i have some really sick speakers and a ton of music thats not on my cpu.

Q9300 intel quad core
4gb DDR2-800 RAM
500GB Seagate SATA drive
HD485/4870 Video
Abit, Gigabyte, Asus, DFI, MSI etc motherboard with P35 Chipset unless you have the money for the newer x48 based fancier mobo

Case dvd etc doesn't really matter just pick something you like in your price range

E8400
4GB DDR2-800
X GB hard drive depending on your space needs.
HD4850
P45 mobo

That's what I would go with for a computer on a budget there is no real reason to go P35 right now as you can find P45 boards for essentially the same price.
