New or Upgrade?

I need to either replace or upgrade my 5 year old desktop computer.
I'm still running Windows 98 and I have P3 500 chip-but it's deadly slow and a real pain-in-the-butt.

I'd like a machine with a P4 2.0, bigger hard drive, and more memory.
I do photoshop and dreamweaver work plus a lot of word documents. I don't do any gaming or video watching or editing.

My power supply is new and my floppy and CD drive are good
I have a copy of XP on disk from my laptop.

What's a better move....buying a new motherboard, sound card, hard drive and memory, or buying a whole new machine? I have a big external hd and cd burner already.

Thanks in advance, you S-B Geeks!
