Ive been out of the scene for quite a long time (spending money on my car instead of my computer), and Im thinking its time for an upgrade. Im looking at picking up an A64, mobo, and video card, and I want to know if I'll have to add new memory to that, or if my current memory will suffice (specs in Sig)

Yep, your RAM will be excellent, but you won't get huge performance out of it unless it has tight CAS latencies...
