PC 200$-300$ budget upgrade
I'm trying to make an Oblivion-Compatible Pc, preferably upgrading the system Memory and Video card.. Though, I need it so that it can play Oblivion without any problems. My computer fails me when tabbing from games like Warcraft III and waiting 5 minutes just to resume so I really need a Mem up as well. Is all this possible around 200$-300$?
This is my first time upgrading btw, any pointers would be nice. Heres my specs in a jpeg.   Jam it back in, in the dark.

I basically have the HP Media Center PC 873n with windows Xp instead. Nero tools claims its a Hewlett-Packard HP System Board.
As for the power supply this is it http://www.power-on.com/miathppa1.html My computer is really outdated  btw would it help to just add to the existing memory? There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well it seems like I'm gonna have to add a case to this(its so compact in there). A lot of cases come with psu's anway.
Btw will the psu or any cables assplode, if I don't have enough power or more then enough? Double Post: Well I came out with this: 60$ Computer Case /w PSU(420w) 150$ Video Card (Geforce 6800XT) (256MB) (256-bit) (GDDR3) (AGP 4X/8X) (Max res 2560x1600)/w heatsink + fan 40$ System Memory (512mb) (184-pin DDR SDRAM) (Cas Latency 2.5) (DDR 400 pc3200) /w heatspreader Optional: 46$ Extra Hard Drive (7200 RPM) (8mb Cache) (IDE Ultra ATA100) I still dont know if -the video card's 2560 x 1600 resolution work with my 17" monitor? -everything will work with my Hewlett-Packard HP System Board mobo -I'll be able to reconnect everything into the new computer case. -the computer will explode because of too much power or is on for 3-2 weeks straight. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Still trying to figure out what atx and micro atx is. My current psu looks half the size of the ones I see on newegg(my current psu is also a micro atx according to that link I posted earlier). Are these just my eyes?
I also tried disassembling my computer. I couldn't get the mother board out because there was a metal panel covering the other side of the mobo; which I couldn't find any method of removing. Also the old Media Center Buttons appear to be attached to the hard drive(wtf?). For future reference HP Media Center PC 873n How ya doing, buddy?
