Is your case with OK with ATX mobo??

Anyway, here is my suggestions

AMD Athlon IIx3 440 + GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3/ ASUS M4A88TD-M (depends on if your case could take ATX mobo)

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-4GBNQ (you may want just getting 2GB as your XP may probably be 32bit. But I personally soemtimes feel 2GB is a bit slow)

GIGABYTE GV-N98TGR-512I GeForce 9800 GT 512MB (May a bit overkill for 10yr, but it is good buy for the price)
