If you want to use your old memory you are pretty much stuck to an older type amd processor. And since you don't want to spend that much you could get an amd 64 3700+ (or something around that) for a fair price, with the amd price drops. Allthough it is an older proc it will run all current games just fine since they don't use multi core processors anyway, allthough that should change soon.
As for motherboard just be sure you get one with an nForce chipset which are the fastest. Allmost all mobo's come with integrated network and sound chips too.
Including 512 Megs of extra ram that setup will set you back around 350 bucks or something leaving you more then a enough money for a top of the line graphics card. A Nvidia Geforce 7900 GT for example is a good card that costs under 300 bucks.
That setup should play any of the current games in high settings just fine.
