Hi rayera, the new pentium 4 have the 775 socket, the older one has the 478 socket but there is the new pentium 4 celeron d (prescott) with the 478 socket that works great if you want to save some money. I bought a 2.6 ghz one to my brother and it works great. They are marked "celeron D" and they need a recent motherboard that support the 533mhz fsb (if you put it into an older motherboad it simply doesn't work) and I can assure you that the performance is the same of a 775 socket and probably you save money. 
I have the same card (nvidia) for my brother, it works fine for Poser but it's not high performance for gaming, I mean that you have to reduce the resolution if compared wit an ATI Radeon in order to play smoothly. For the moemory don't worry, you can buy another module in the future if it's not enough... The SATA choice is very good  :thumb: !! As I told here some times ago I found a 250 GB S-ATA hard disk into the case I bought on ebay  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: ... An unexpected gift  :whistle: ! 80 Gb are ok if you don't plan to fill it with useless things like I use to do  :oops: . I use to buy a new hd istead of cleaning the place  :oops: ...
I'm sorry that we are so far, I don't know if the prices are different here and there otherwise I could buy the parts and send them to you, but out of the european union they will be taxed at their arrival there...
Don't worry for the speed, 2.4 Ghz are enough, all up to 2.0 ghz works fine.

P.S. on ebay a 2.4 celeron D costs 55 US dollars + mail costs (new)
