Older Celeron in a new board

Hello

I've been given up to £100 to improve a machine to make it a bit more capable for playing games.

Its an older celeron processor in a 775 board (which only supports DDR1 and AGP graphics)

Now I can either search around for DDR Ram and stick an AGP card in there

Or do what I'm checking would be ok - keep the processor, stick it in a board supporting PCI-e and DDR2, stick 2gb of DDR2 ram in there and something like a 5450 card.

Will it work or am I being a noob?
 
Nope, should work, but be sure to check the supported processors (you never know). Not sure if it would help much though, but that will depend on the use.
 
Currently it has 700mb of ram, a 5200 PCI graphics card

For £80 I can put in 2x1gb sticks DDR2 and a 5450 PCI-e with the new motherboard.

Its mainly for playing older flight sim games, such as battle of britain
