This probably isn't anything special, but what do you think to the following:
Athlon xp 2700+
Gigabyte nforce2 board
512mb DDR ram
Maxtor diamondmax 120gb 7200rpm
Asutek 52r 52w 24rw
Radeon 9600 128mb ddr agp 8x
Englight case & 300w psu
21" monitor
The new setup comes to about £580, excluding soundcard, monitor, keyboard etc. I didn't think the 2800+ was worth the slight extra performance for £30...
first skip the 2700 and get the 2500+ the extra L2 cache is worth it, and upgrade your vcard to a 9700 pro or non pro its your choice, and i would get a gig of ram, but thats just meQuote:

Make sure you ditch that cheapo PSU and pick up at least a 350 watt Enermax or Antec:)
yea man go for the GIG!
i gig isn't really needed .. 512 is fine.. i mean ive been on 256 for a while and i lived with it (not blazing fast) but 512 is good enough..
Remind me, how much is £580?
About $935.85Quote:

Abit NF-7 is much better mobo.

>>Radeon 9600 128mb ddr agp 8x
9500 Pro (if you can still find one, or 9700 non-Pro

NO WAY. Get an Antec SX635II or SX835II, both come with a good PSU.
Have fun building! :)
