Hello everybody, my Dell C521 specifications are in my post. I'm deciding to upgrade this thing, finally. I dont use it for much but I was wondering if anyone can help me modify my upgrade selection to make it more balanced in this system? Thanks!

|GeForce 8400GS 512MB
|80GB Hitachi HDD

|280W Dell PSU with 16A on 12V rail.
Upgrades

^ Both are somehow the same price at my local computer store.

(Dell doesn't support DDR2 in Dual Channel) (Or does it?)
This will be for now. I need an idea on which CPU to go with and if the RAM needed to be changed. I think on getting a 4650, or 9600GT in the future (low profile). Thanks so much!
