Already using an Antec 380w, 12A and a Radeon 9800 pro. I'm flexable in buying other products if they're not too much more. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

The only thing that you would ever want to change is to go to SATA
Funny, you are looking at the same processor i bought 2 days ago and you have the same Graphics card that I have now, but not for long
 
That system looks a bit outdated as it has a agp 939 motherboard. I would suggest you start over and go either AM2 or core 2 duo as it will be much easier to upgrade, seeing there aren't any new agp cards are there anymore.
 
Well i have a Radeon 9800 pro and its an AGP and I don't have the money for another graphics card right now. Is there a decent mobo with both agp and pci-e?

I know they do make them, but I dont think they are very good. I would personally get a PCI-E motherboard now that has integrated graphics then use that until you can make moeny for a better card.
 
Preferably around $500 but I wouldn't mind spending a few dollars more on parts here or there if they're going to be much better or beneficial in the long run.
 
I wouldn't touch a Gigabyte board with a ten foot pole personally, but the CPU is fine on a limited budget. If you can't afford the PCI-e don't worry about it, just grab an AGP board. You are going to spend a LOT of money for a PCI-e card that is worth having.

Don't go PATA. That standard went out of date when Fred Flinstone had a computer. :)
