Ditch the celeron. If you might go gaming then you will want a regular P4 or an AMD.

Go with the 512 megs of ram. You'll thank yourself for it in the morning.

As for video. Go with an AGP card. Motherboards that come with AGP chipsets aren't as good as regular cards but they are getting better. Another problem with them is they also share your ram memory so if you get 512megs of ram you will have to deduct whatever you allow the video to take from that. And with Win XP thats not a good thing. Stand alone cards use their own memory so they don't require your system memory.

Though I might go with a regular ATX power supply that is at least 350 watts and a power inverter. That way you are sure to have all the power requirnments you need for you computer.

DISCLAIMER: DRIVING AND PLAYING GAMES WHILE WATCHING MOVIES IS DANGEROUS AND COULD BE ILLEGAL IN SOME STATES. I AM NOT ADVOCATING OR RECOMENDING IT. lol
