I just upgraded a similar spec PC (2.5GHz, 256MB RAM, 64MB Graphics) I got two 512MB RAM modules for £13 each and you can get a 256MB Graphics card for about £25 on Amazon (I didn't bother with one).
I imagine like mine your PC can only handle 1GB of SDRAM so that would be your best bet.
EDIT: Your wanting a CD/DVD Drive? I got a LG one for £20 in PC World, slow tray opening but rips music CD's very fast.

I'm looking at the LG one you mentioned.
Currently I need my cash for a new laptop, but I'm going to upgrade at Christmas.
