Well, what is your computer? What motherboard does it have? Off the top of my head, I would suggest increasing memory, upgrading the video card, and adding a second hard drive.
I will start with the video card. Will your motherboard accept AGP or PCI?
It is best to install memory in pairs. Go to Crucial.com. It has an automatic memory configurator. Makes things easy.
For a hard drive, you have to determine if your connection is SATA or "other". You can mix ATA/PATA/IDE. Try to pick the fastest hard drive with at least a 16mb Cache.
I wish I could be more detailed, but without knowing your system and it's set up, I can only do so much.
Good luck!

you're dropping funds. The CPU/RAM and so on are all nice, yet with that pictures card they're thoroughly wasted. The 8400GS received't play any video games at a life like placing. you'll conflict to play the recent video games on low. Get a 9600GT or HD4670 on the least for a (low-mid) "gaming" rig. those pictures playing cards will a minimum of make the $$$ you spent on the CPU and so on quite worth it.

Honestly just get a HP or a DELL slap in a jumbo graphics card and a monster PSU and you'll be all set.
