hello all i do not don gaming but i need a cheap mb and chip because i do a lot of burning and surfing and like to open few windows plz help
 
Ok, that helps, I assume you have ram? If so, what ram is it, ie DDR2/3, The type of ram you have will have an impact on what people can suggest.
 
DIMM1: 1 GB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (3.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz) (2.5-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz) (2.0-2-2-6 @ 133 MHz)
there is 3 gigs

but if i need new i will get some
 
What I would suggest for the budget you have is:

This Motherboard has on-board graphics and is probably as low a priced board that OCUK stock for the AM3 platform, still It will do you just fine and below is the CPU, which is a tri-core athlon CPU.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-282-AM&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1945

These items combined would be over budget @ 115.00 (including shipping), or you could get a dual core athlon like the one below and that would be £100.00 (including shipping).

I would advise to ditch the DDR ram, as it a long time old and I dont think you would find anything new on the market that would be compatible with that Ram. The components I have listed above would work only with DDR3 ram, which is essentially a lot,lot faster than DDR.

I think this ram should suffice, It is a single 2gb stick, which should be ok for your needs, if you need more in the future you will have ample slots left in your Motherboard.
