New pc..help me

[David _b]

Hi

Havin just had my PSU blow up and kill my motherboard i think its time for a upgrade.

Nothin to extreme as i dont play games a lot any more and currently have 2 x 512 pc3200 and a 80 gig SATA HD

I need a case, GOOD PSU (read above ), DVD RW, graphics card, motherboard and CPU (amd). Storage.

mainly used for downloading and all the usual stuff dvd's and the occasional game. Nice and quiet would be good.

So...spec me chaps
Thanks

Well the hard disk, ram and graphics are all ok. I dont know the state of the CPU yet.

Budget hasnt really been set but maybe around 400.

I will sell the 9800 pro, cpu (if working) and graphics. Probably keep the RAM unless i decide to get 2 x 1gb strips.

As its socket A at the minute i want to get into 939 obviously.

Thanks

would it be worth while getting dual core ?

and would it be worth while selling my 2 x 512 and buy 2 x 1gb strips ?

thanks
