AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 90nm (Socket 939) - Retail 129.19

Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 (Socket 939 43.42

OcUK Value 1GB (2x512MB) PC3200 184pin DDR Memory Dual Channel Kit 56.34

Also, I don't know what type of hard drive I have, whether it is IDE or SATA, will either work fine with that motherboard? (I need that motherboard because I have an AGP graphics card)

Yes they will work fine together and you can use either IDE or SATA with that motherboard without a problem. I would however suggest going for the 3700 San Diego if you can afford it as it has 1mb L2 cache but it does cost around £15 more.

They should work fine together.

You can prolly pick up some tips on that motherboard here < long read.

I'll echo that, and I'd personally go for Geil Value RAM at £9 more

Get an oem 3700 and and artic freezer 64 pro, about £10 extra but worth it IMO, less noise and more cache
