[Mlingard]

Hi all over the next month or so i am trying to put together a new matx case to use as a second pc with my samsung hdtv , i dont want to spend too much on it so i thought a athlon64 x2 am2 would be a good choice .

CASE = i dont know which one to buy so some help is defo needed here , again i dont want to spend a fortune .

CPU = AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+ 2.60GHz (Socket AM2) - Retail seems a good one for the money .

MEMORY = havent got a clue what to buy so please help .

MOTHERBOARD = Abit AN-M2 Micro ATX (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

GFX = OcUK ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

I will sort a dvd writer and os out and other bits so just need help getting the main components for it .

Any help appreciated cheers mick .

if you do intend to over clock a quite a bit you may want to go for the pc6400 version of the above
