For the expense I put into it, my video card with 512mb was a waste of money.
Don't get more than 3GB of memory, the 4th GB is mapped to system uses, and the computer will not see RAM there. A faster CPU will not let you render larger scenes or greater resolution.
You need motherboard, CPU, memory, and an OS. Look toward 64 bit, but think on keeping the current computer. If you do network rendering in the near future, you will need more than one computer anyway.
