I'd up the motherboard to the Canterwood/Springdale chipsets..... I'd look for ones running the i865PE chipset because they are in all but name, the same as the i875s

As for the videocard, you may be interested in jumping to the GFX5600 or GFX5700... much more bang for the buck and not much horribly more expensive

If you're gonna reccomend something, at least give a reason or indication of your line of thinking. Furthermore, the Radeon line of graphics cards is quite extensive -- which Radeon did you have in mind? If its the Radeon9600 then sure that's a fair card considering the GFX5700 and the Radeon9600 are about on par with each other and costwise are in the same ballpark
