what do you think i should do first?

mobo: ECS 915P-A (POS)
1 gig PC3200 DDR400
160gig HD
radeon X700 Pro
P4 3.2 HT
450W PSU

i was thinking about another gig of ram and maybe a new graphics card.
I might upgrade the mobo later.
Please tell me what you think i should do.

Add another 1GB of ram and a new video card. How much you want to spend?

Shit, you can get a whole new PC for that amount of cash !
No but seriously.. think about if you want the new DX10 card when they come out in a couple of months. If you do, you might not want to spend a lot of dough on a new card now.

So my suggestion would be to get an extra gig of ram. Then save the rest of the cash for the DX10 card and maybe a new mobo.

Get a new PSU, that thing is gonna fry your computer if you try to use a DX10 card on it. There are supposed to take like 300w and no way your computer is gonna live through that. Also get 2GB DDR2 PC6400 or higher RAM.
