Upgrade (Roughly $600 Budget)

[Juice_Layer]

I'm doing an upgrade on a limited budget, I'm planning on getting it in portions, I won't get it all at one time, but rather build up the computer piece by piece.

Here's my current specs:

MOBO
----------

Board: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. G31M-S2L 
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz

GRAPHICS
----------

ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series ( HD 4850 )

PROCESSOR
----------
2.50 gigahertz Intel Pentium Dual-Core
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
2048 kilobyte secondary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (2 total)
Not hyper-threaded

RAM
----------
2 Gigs of pqi DDR2 RAM (don't know latency or anything)

Anyways, I think the GPU will probably be the last thing I need to worry about. CPU and RAM are my primary concerns. I like to play games and run programs like After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5, so they suck up a lot of RAM to render. I want a $600 or so upgrade. I'm planning on buying a new case, so I figured a cheap one with decent airflow would be best. Here's what I've whipped up, please feel free to edit it or suggest something else. I want to go with an AMD AM3 mobo though.

CASE ([url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103011[/url])

Also, where can I learn to wire a case nicely and neatly and where can I get the nice mesh protection (really cheap and black or silver) to put over the cables?

Thanks!
