What sort of games do you play?
And what's your budget?
And what PSU do you have?  Power is important.

Processor: P4 3.2 Ghz. GREAT Value for the price, no need to go Dual Core when these already do all that is needed.

Motherboard: Asus P5N-E SLI. Nice, Cheap, SLI Board. Though it's nortorious for being very picky with its memory.

Graphics card: GeForce 7600GT. Very fast card for the money. (Plays BF2/2142, etc. on full settings!) These boards are able to handle pretty much anything right now. You may even want to buy two for SLI!  ;)

Btw, you wont be able to run it on 256mb of course :)

Nice build you propose there Eredell.
A RAM upgrade will be necessary to take advantage of this as you said, I'd say 1Gb would be sensible.
