Okay, sounds good all
However, I would prefer over 1GB ram if possible, and OcUK RAM is kinda putting me off - GeiL ram is more suited for maximum performance with the Athlon 64 right? About gaming purposes - well, chances are that if my parents decide to go ahead and buy, it'll be used as an all-rounder family computer, rather than just for my parents. The current PC I have at the moment is getting very old, as you can see in my signature, so I definitely need to get with the times!
Athlon 64 X2 - sounds good, but I feel that the clock speed is a bit of a let down - 2 - 2.4Ghz, and I can't see what other advantages it gives over the normal 64. Min. 160GB HDD, and a stylish case would be nice. Remember, I just want to maximise the potential of the system, so any advantageous parallels between components should be considered. As for graphics card, I realise that there are so many new brands coming out at this time, but I would like something which is capable of playing the newest games without any problems at all, and future games with little hassle as well.
If you're going to suggest something, please could you give a reason on why you've selected the parts, as some of you have already done so!
Thanks!
