Blimey. If you intend to keep that PC for a while, then as others have said, you really need to get some more memory. I used to have a similar spec machine, and I increased the memory from 512MB to 1GB, and the result was a massive speed increase.
Several colleagues built their own machine. They said it did not really work out cheaper, but they got the components they wanted. However, one had some problems with faulty components, which had to be exchanged. And he concluded that he could have done as well buying from someone like Mesh. Companies like Mesh and Watford allow you to choose from a range of components, which they assemble for you. It's probably the next best thing to self-build.
