Hi there Keith. How are you doing? So your looking to upgrade your Dell? First of all, 4GB of memory will be wasted with that processor. 2GB will be plenty for anything you will ever run on it. I recommend these parts.

Well I went out and bought 2 sticks of 1 Gig, 520W PSU and X-Vision 1GB 8600GT. The guy recommended this card over the X1650 Pro. Memory picked up fine but noticed my monitor connection is not compatible with my new card so I take it there's an adapter out there for this. I was looking forward to testing it out tonight aswell

Good choice. Out of curiosity, what power supply did you buy? You didnt go out and buy a cheapie did you? The power supply is the most critical component in your system, and you should always buy a quality, well built-name brand one.
