ok im actually young.
I was thinking that I want to upgrade my computer. I know I could build a new good one for around 6 hundred, but I think I might have some parts that I would be able to still use and would like to see what you guys reccemend, say for $400 or cheaper.

OS: winxp sp2
Processor: Intel 733 (isnt OC'd, should I? ive never done)
Motherboard: asus (dont have the current type of hand, I understand if I upgrade cpu, i would have to upgrade it.
RAM: 256mb (1 i think is pc133, 1 is pc100 so i understand both would be 100 then?)
HD: Seagate SCSI 18 gigs.
Graphics: nvidia geforce fx 5200
Media: floppy, Kenwood SCSI 52x CDrom, hp SCSI 8xCDRW, hitatchi dvdrom-non scsi
Sound: sound blaster (not sure off hand what one)
Case: atx? midtower
Network: 2 netgear cards, 1 linksys wireless card.(right now only one in use is one of my netgears) the others just remain in there because i dont have a reason to take out.

So if I just bought a new HD, I think I could OC my computer would this be wise?
should I go w/ SCSI?
If i bought a new HD, CPU, RAM and MOBO, would I need a new case? graphics?
What are your guys reccemendations?
