I'm upgrading my old socket-A system, keeping the case, PSU, hard drives etc so thinking of the following:

Asus A8N5X nForce4 (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-120-AS) - £61.04
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 90nm (Socket 939) - Retail (ADA3700BNBOX) (CP-121-AM) - £159.74
OcUK Value 2GB (2x1GB) PC3200 184pin DDR Memory Dual Channel Kit (MY-006-OK) - £111.57
Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940) (FG-000-AR) - £17.57
Leadtek GeForce 7800GT 256MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-069-LT) - £205.57

Total - £555.49 (all prices incl VAT)

I picked the mobo simply because it's the cheapest nForce4 one I could find.
The CPU is supposed to be a good overclocker - the mobo and RAM suitable?

Cheers.

...and will my current 430w PSU be sufficient?

Thanks, any thoughts on the mobo/ram/cpu combo?

So the cheaper Asus board has no SATA support? Didn't realise that.

I have an Epox EP-9NPA+ in another PC which seems to have done me proud (although it is not overclocked). Any significant difference between the 2 brands?

The RAM tip is much appreciated.

Blimey, never heard of SATA II

I think the suggestion for a bit more research might be well placed!
