Unhappy Time to upgrade

I'm currently running an AcerPower F1 which has:

Motherboard: Acer E61ML
Chipset: SIS 661/FX
CPU: Intel Celeron 2.67GHz (so slow)
RAM: 1 X 1Gb DDR-800 and 1 X 512Mb DDR-800
Graphics: MSI GeForce NX6200AX 256Mb DDR2

2 Case fans, Stock CPU cooling and 500W PSU


I need advice on the best type of motherboard to buy for the lowest price because im on a tight budget. I definately want a Q6600 and 2Gb of RAM and an 8800GT. But im not sure what kind of cheap but not so crappy motherboard i should buy.

Upgrading my CPU means I have to upgrade my motherboard which means i have to upgrade my RAM (DDR - DDR2) and my Graphics card (AGP - PCI-E)

I'm grateful for any motherboard advice anyone has to offer.

Well, if you want to take the gentle path to upgrading, get yourself an Asrock 775Dual VSTA. It will take your old ram and video card but has slots for DDR2 and PCI-E when you can afford to buy them. Ultimately you'll want a better board eventually but like I said, it's a painless way to upgrade.
