Heya all, its been a while since I build a PC but I've been asked by a friend to assemble a PC. Its mainly used for Office and the likes but they do play the occasional game and mess around a bit with video editing.

Howevery they did use to do this on an old P4 1.5ghz and 256Mb Ram so what I chose should be enough.

SOCKET 939 CPU, 1000 FSB, 512K CACHE, NO COOLER, 2.200GHZ, AMD ATHLON 64 3500+ VENICE ADA3500DAA4BP

ASUS A8N-VM/CSM SOCKET 939/GEFORCE 6150/A&V&L/TV-OUT MOTHERBOARD MB-A8NVMCS

CPU COOLER, SOCKET 754/939/940 TO 3500+, COOLERMASTER DK8-8ID2A-0L

FLOPPY DISK DRIVE, BLACK, MAJOR BRAND

DVD-RW 16X6X16, DVD+RW 16X8X12, DVD+R DL*2 X12, CDRW 40X32X40, IDE, BLACK, PIONEER DVR-111D-BK

MEMORY MODULE, 184 PIN, PC3200/PC400 DDR DIMM, 256MB, OEM x2

CASE, MIDI-TOWER, ATX, BLACK/SILVER, 350W PSU, Q-TEC 14121

3.5" HARD DISK DRIVE, 80.0GB, 7200RPM, 8MB, SERIAL ATA, MAXTOR 6Y080M0

My main question regards CPU & Mainboard mainly. How compatible are they? Is it a good combo?
 
Thanks for the fast replies, unfortunately my friend doesn't want to purchase online (unlike me - only ordered from OcUK in the past year or so) and hence my options are limited especially with regard to cases! The budget is also limited so can't really go with a better gpu & motherboard combo :/
