I'm not even sure if the last part makes sense, but you know what I mean.
Right then;
AMD Athlon
1.40GHz (Won't upgrade this most likely)
256MB RAM
64MB NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX400
And a Big Chunky Monitor.
So, what would be best to upgrade? I really do wanna save up to upgrade *something* to make my comp better.
Price doesn't matter.
And with the graphics card - it copes perfectly well with all my games, so what would be the point in getting a new one? (That is actually a question)
Cheers.

The RAM is the main thing I would go for. I personally feel in an ideal world you should match the RAM Mb amount to the proccessors Mhz speed, to stop your computer resorting to using Virtual Memory (your computer using the Hard Drive as RAM) as this is a hell of alot slower than RAM.
So I would get you RAM up to about 1400Mb (3 512Mb Chips would be the closest and most realistic way of doing that. You don't really need that much but if you want to avoid the proccessor having to slow down while the hard drive is reading and writing as RAM then its a good thing to do.
As for the graphics card, I woulden't bother. You have a little while before that needs changing (once 64Mb becomes required for most games thats when you want to up it).
