Simply put, get a new pc, or at least buy a bundle with Mboard, Ram, CPU, HDD etc, add current sound/gfx (tho most will have onboard sound anyway) and a case/psu to suit, then just build it up as you go. After 4 years however you may as well try to upgrade fully to a better machine, or just buy one thats even 12 months old as the prices won't be too bad now, and you'll notice more difference. It's sometimes too much hard work to upgrade a dinosaur, believe me i've tried

There will be so much compatibility issues if you start upgrading that old computer of yours. You need to change your mainboard and almost every component. That will cost you almost as much as a new one. What you save is very litle. |
and just to add to this, bundles may be cheaper anyway

with a pentium 4 3ghz, 1gb RAM, radeon 9600-256ram, SATA hard drive (i recommend seagate or maxtor, how large depends on you, i've got 480gb :P) and a 100$ asus m/b you are ok for atleast 3-4 years
thats my setup, i use draw,photoshop,premier,fruity loops (with a SHITLOAD of heavy vst's), i'm playing any game at high quality (i'm not much into games thought) and my pc never fails me down.
dont buy the latest stuff, that's a scam.
