Hmm, As far as Video cards go, Looks like this system is for the AGP 8x, For that configuration, I recomend you get one of those Geforce 6800 256MB AGP cards, But you will need a very powerful power supply for those since, They require a connection from the unit itself, Something around maybe 500watts or more would do the trick.

only one RAM slot?

Id try to find a mobo with at least 2 RAM slots. 1 gb will be good for many games now, but this may not be the case in a year. Im already having trouble with only a gig (i gave my sister 1gb of my ram) with current games.

Tigerclaw is also right, a better PSU will be crucial for peripherals and add-ons.
