Yet an other desktop upgrade question with limited budget :<

Hello fellas I want to upgrade my computer for aion(aion only so I will probly wait)
my current system config is;
cpu: intel pentium 4 3.00ghz (it says 2 cpus here I have no clue what this means Im prety sure it isnt dual core, dual c0res werent even at the market when I bought this :s)
I have 2048 ram (they are 400 mhz do I need to change these aswell if Im passing to 16x mainboard ?)
my main board is very old, its 8x (ms-6788 I guess)
I have 350 watt power supply, 7200 rpm hdd
Oh I also need a new case for the stuff my current one is.... wait for it...... SIX years old I usely need to kick the button part to start it has only 1 fan working (yes my comp overheats from time to time )

My screencard is ati radeon (shapphire) x1650 pro (256 mb) as I remember I bought this so that I can use it even after I upgrade to 16x mainboard dunno if this is true tho ? :< )

Now I would be happy if the upgrades wont pass 450 - 550 dolars but yea I know my comp is a little too old (but atleast I kinda like my graph card I can play crysis at medium and teamfortress 2 at maxed out 4x AA with 40 fps so, dunno perhaps I can upgrade the graph card later???)

Well what do you think I would realy appriciate your help since I dont know much about hardware please explain a little btw so I can learn and stuff
