I had to upgrade, but had to low ball it big time(your thoughts)

I currently am running a 650mhz intel overclocked to 923 , Asus P3v4x motherboard with 456 meg of memory and a geforce 3 ti200. I have managed to sqeeze 2 years out of this system without upgrading anything but the video card( I bought the video card last year) but now its really obvious I have to upgrade! So stretched out to the max in bills, my cash for a new system is really really low. I just ordered a MSI KT4 ultra, AMD 2200+ and 256 meg 3200 memory, Total cost $338.00. I will be buying a ATI 9700 Pro in 4 weeks. Now, did I screw myself? Or will I see a good improvement from what I had before. Your thoughts Please!!!!

yea you would see a freakin HUGE difference in speed and performance!!! i would love to have that computer. But a word for the wise, get more RAM, windows eats 256 real quick

More ram would definitely be a good idea. Other than that, it looks good. I wish I had a computer that fast.
