RAM is good, video card is good. BUT you will also need a new PSU. Something along the lines of a 600W will be good. Make sure its not crap! if a PSU dies, it can take our your other compnenets as well! Soo get something like Corsair, Thermaltake, OCz, Silverstone, HEC is pretty good as well. Your CPU should be upgraded as well, at least a dual core 2.1Ghz. You may have to upgrade your motherboard as well...depending on wether or not you current supports Athlon 64 X2. Do you know the socket?
