Upgrade recommendations?

I have a moderately ok computer that I want to slowly upgrade as I can afford it. I want to do about 1 piece at a time and am not sure in what order to upgrade components so I can see the most change. I use this right now as a mostly word-processor/internet browser, but would like to see it become a moderate gaming rig.

System Specs:

Computer:
Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
OS Service Pack Service Pack 2

Motherboard:
CPU Type AMD Athlon XP, 1154 MHz (11.5 x 100)
Motherboard Name Abit KD7(-RAID) (6 PCI, 1 AGP, 4 DIMM, Audio, LAN)
Motherboard Chipset VIA VT8377 Apollo KT400
System Memory 256 MB (PC3200 Virtual Channel DDR SDRAM)

Display:
Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 (64 MB)

Multimedia:
Audio Adapter VIA AC'97 Enhanced Audio Controller

Storage:
Floppy Drive Floppy disk drive
Disk Drive WDC WD800BB-00FJA0 (74 GB, IDE)

Yes, I know I have no CD Drive, but its not really a high priority for me right now...
