I would buy a better video card and a worse CPU. I don't know where you live, but in my country a 3400+ is about twice as expensive as a 3000+, and I think if you don't want to use that PC for something very power hungry, the 3000+ will have enough raw power for 99% of the games to come in 2005, if it's pared with a Radeon 9600XT.

I have a P4 2.4 and 9600, not even pro and there were only very few games which run slow on this.
