Well im after upgrading some parts in me PC. Basically i kinda know that im after.... 1G of 400MHz DDR Ram, i can get that for £120. I wanna get an AMD ATHLON 64 Processor (AMD Athlon 64 3500 32/64Bit CPU S939 Winchester 90nm Retail inc Heat Sink Fan & 3 Years Warranty) for a 939 motherboard of which ive found one at scan.computers.uk for £176. Now all i need is a motherboard but i couldnt fine one locally or on this site which suits my setup as far as i know. Im after a 939 board, that supports AGPx8( ive got a brand new AOPEN 6600GT card atm) has reasonable ammount of PCI slots aswell as DDR Ram slots and would retail for anything less then £100 ( alil more over that ammount is ok

) I would very much prefer to buy this from a uk site/address but if if needs be, i may have to buy from somwhere else. Any help on this much appreciated as allways. Cheers.

p.s. is it worth getting a CRT monitor of flatscreen. I mainly use my PC to game and the flatscreens im looking at atm are almost double the price

not sure about pricing, but the two I'd recommend are the MSI K8T NEO2 or the MSI K8N NEO 2. I think the K8T will be quite cheap, but is not as overclocker friendly as the K8N.
