Default dell inspiron e1705 + 2007fp monitor

new setup. i play 8-12 tables on party, 3/6 NL. i want a good setup

going w/ the 17inch, widescreen dell inspiron e1705. from what i hear, it sounds like a good model.

simple questions:

processor and memory. im using this for poker/school/occasional games like call of duty 2 or warcraft iii kind of games.

its $1k for the 1.66 ghz duo processor and 512 mb ram at 533 Mhz. it costs $200 more to bump it up to 1.83 ghz and $280 more to go up to 2 ghz. do i need this?

it also costs $80 to go to 1 GB ram, and $240 to GB ram. do i need this?

those are basically the only cost issues.

video card - if im running one other monitor, the dell 2007fp, do i need a better video card? the inspiron comes with Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950, or i could get the 256MB ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1400 HyperMemory for $120, or the 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 7900 GS for $230. do i need either of them? do i want either of them?

thanks
