Athlon 64's are pointless...

It all depends one what kind of processor you are getting of what kind of motherboard to get

By brand, my favorite happens to be ASUS, most stable board I have ever owned...I miss it greatly.

Well as of right now I am only upgrading my mobo, I have an older Asus that is only agp 4x. I have a GeForce fx 5600, 768 2100 DDR Ram, xp 1800+ SB Live Platinum etc. It's gonna be used for any and all games, HL 2, Doom 3, games like that.

If you want to play Doom 3, I Highly recommend upgrading. I guess you could play Doom 3 on that but it wouldn't be that great (more like a slide-show). Geforce FX 5600 is a very bad card. Even the Geforce 4 TI owns it. Just look at the benchmarks on Tom's Hardware VGA Charts III.

I would sell that PC for like $400+ and buy these...

-AMD Athlon XP 2500+ ($80 Retail)
-ABIT NF7-S Motherboard ($92) Includes nvidia ss so u can sell ur sb live.
-RAIDMAX Scorpio 868 ($62) 420W and nice look
-Western Digital 80 GB 7200 RPM ($67)
-Corsair Value PC3200 512MB DDR ($82)
-Radeon 9600 XT ($120) or Radeon 9800 Pro ($190)

To meet "medium" expectations for Doom 3 I suggest getting a Radeon 9600 XT. Also the 2500+ is a good match with the 9600 XT. If you plan on running Doom 3 on your 1800+ with GF 5600 I suggest not buying it at all.
