You need to update everything. Do you have a budget? And what video card are you considering?

This concerns me. Considering that RAM is only about $40 for 8GB, I question the rest of the rig and parts you're getting. Specifically, you failed to mention the motherboard you're using. There is no way for us to recommend old DDR memory considering they've stopped making it. You can only buy them nowadays as surplus parts, ebay, craigslist, etc. Namely second hand sellers.

You said you have more (CPU's I guess), but if they're say an old Intel Core2Duo E6300 and you're trying to plug it into your current motherboard, it won't work since the two CPU's use different sockets.

You need to provide more info so we understand what you're doing exactly. What kind of CPU's are you planning to use, what is your current power supply, motherboard, and what kind of performance are you hoping to get. FYI: Better make sure the video card you're planning to use is compatible with your motherboard, because those motherboards for the P4 still used VGA (if I remember correctly). Today, the current port is PCI-E.
