hi all my system is pretty much ok a socket 939 with gig of ram and 3200 proccy
now my kids who are 9 and 11 want their own comp for xmas now i have a spare 15 inch monitor and a gfx card to put in it
now i am thinking slightly upgrade mine and put my bits into the antec case im getting them
thing is i cant really afford to go conroe so thats out and waiting is not really on as this will have to be ready in next 7 or 8 weeks with no extra budget available
have 300 quid to spend and need all of what you see below
im thinking maybe go am2 and take a chance that the next wave of amd proccys for am2 mobos are as good as conroes and bonus a simple upgrade
do these parts look ok and if they all fit and work nice went for the desktop case for them as space is tight in bedroom and would also like to add a tv card in future for them make it like a media set up
