Our old Gateway is almost 6 years old. It's been updated a couple of times, but has gotten pretty slow, and "locks up" frequently. I'd like to spend as little as I have to. It isn't used by my son's for school any more, and therefore isn't used to download music, or other memory eating stuff. We use our computer for selling or buying on ebay, poking around on the internet, basic communications, etc. Should I buy a "package deal", or keep my monitor, keyboard and replace only the modem?

It's really tough to beat the deals that Dell can provide. The hardware is pretty crappy in my opinion, but for what you're doing you don't need to spend more money on better hardware. I'd suggest getting the package deal, since your Gateway monitor, keyboard, and mouse will probably give up the ghost at some point anyhow. Plus you know you want to get rid of that big monitor and get a low profile one. The space savings really is worth it.
