A good video card will probably eat up the $200, so try to reuse the HD and ram.

You'll need DDR RAM, not DDR2 RAM. DDR2 is for Intel only right now.

DDR400 512MB - $35-40
80GB hard drive - $50-60
6600GT - $140

I assume you have a quality power supply?

The A8N-E ASUS 939 uses DDR RAM.

That's not what you said above.

There's a difference between DDR2 and DDR Dual Channel. If you've got some 184 pin DDR400, then you are all set in the RAM department.

You could spend more on the video card then. An X800 Pro would run you $200.
