Rather than buy a new PC I have decided to go cheap and just replace the inards of my current one but seeing as i'm not the most clued up person when it comes to hardware can someone give me a hand...

I have 1gig of DDR - KEEPING
ASUS P4S800D - GOING
Skt 478 P4 2.8 GHz - GOING
120 gig HDD - KEEPING
Radeon 9600pro - KEEPING (For Now)
Case, PSU, FDD, DVD etc - KEEPING

Just bought a ASRock Dual Series939 motherboard, my plan is to get a processor (probably 3700 or 3800) and install the pair whilst reinstalling XP.

Then once I have some more money I can finally replace the 9600 with a decent PCI-E card (perhaps a X800XT)

Can anyone see any problems (no matter how obvious!!!) because I don't wanna bugger anything up!!

Thanks guys!
 
Im thinking of around £150 for the graphics

But bearing in mind that this might be in 2 months time so current cards might be cheaper...

I looked at the specs for the AMD CPU's and I can never understand why they seem to vary the Cache so much on the high end processors?!
 
Cheers for the advice guys, quick and to the point as usual! :-)

I'm keen to stick with Ati if pos as I know them from my 9600 so unless 7800's drop through the floor it will be a 3700 SanDiego and a x850xt for me!
