Advice on buying base system or upgrade

I may be in a postition soon to upgrade what i have, this is my current spec

Epox 4PAC3+ http://tinyurl.com/5x9ul
2GB RAM
P4 2.4 (800FSB)
ATI 9600 Pro (AGP)
Various IDE & SATA Hard Drives
Pioneer 110D
NEC Optiarc AD 7173A DVD-RW
Antec SX1030 Case http://www.2cpu.com/articles/16_2.html
Antec True Power 2.0 550W PSU http://tinyurl.com/c2gxm
Creative Sound Blaster 5.1 sound card

I'm very happy with my CRT (i know it's old) monitor, my current ATI 9600
Pro graphics does me for what i need but i suspect i will be forced into
PCI-E route given i'll be getting new mainboard and i'm happy with my sound
card.

So i need a new system that will consist of new mainboard RAM (again i
suspect my old ram won't work in new mainboard) Min of 2GB (XP Pro SP2), new
video card (but nothing fancy) and the fastest CPU I can get as i do a fair
bit of capping and encoding,

I would love to keep this case and PSU for cost reasons.

So what route should i take? should i buy cheap base unit and put my bits in
it or go down route of buying separate mainboard/ram/mainboard/video card,
I'n NOT flush and have a budget of about £300 (told u i was skint)

Many thanks for reading, and look forward to your replies.

Jim
