Is this a respectable upgrade?

[a7y]

I have an old as fuck HP Pavilion and unfortunately I don't have enough $$ to build an entire PC. I've decided to go the route of upgrading and I just want to make sure I'm making good choices.
I don't game that often, but when I do it's usually some Source game or Minecraft. (You're welcome to look at my Steam profile if you care enough)

Current specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 CPU
2.0GB DDR2 RAM
Intel 82945G GPU (:v:)
250W PSU

Upgrading to:
350W PSU [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182006[/url]
GT430 GPU [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133432[/url]
2x 1GB DDR2 RAM (4GB total with what's currently seated) [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231106[/url]

Total cost is around $118. If you have any suggestions, I'd like to keep it as close to that as possible.
Thanks in advance!

A 350w psu? Really?
I know you already said you don't have enough money, but no reason in spending money in keep upgrading something old.

I wouldn't really invest anything in that.

Get a job and buy a new pc.

And the ram you have now should come to $150. This should last for about 5 years or so, for source games and stuff.

For this budget there really isn't much you can do. I wouldn't recommend buying stuff right now OP - get some $500 and then you can probably get a decent build.

OP I am afraid everyone here is right. You've got a lot of old parts - by upgrading them, you're just wasting money.

I would look into one of the motherboard/RAM/CPU bundles you can get. For under £150 you can upgrade your system to a modern day rig, and really boost your performance..

Problem is that OEM computers generally have proprietary everything. Most of the time you won't be able to replace the internals without breaking out the power tools and doing some heavy case modification.
