You have already asked this (and I have answered it) in Technology.

It confuses everyone if you ask the same question in multiple places.

>>>I have the following ( But these are getting upgraded)
if these are the upgrade bits .... what's left?

I assume you paid comparable money for the mobo - but be careful - if it's more than 12 months old - bin it.
mobos get old as quick as graphics cards

surprised you are using XP
directx10 makes quite a difference

gaming cases tend to be a good size
... but it's going to get hot .... and noisy - consider a couple of silent fans
and a "fancy" heatsink for the cpu
also consider using a Western Digital Raptor for your OS/games

given all that - why not just build a new machine?
