Hi,
this is my first thread on this forum and first spec request right off the bat
It is for my sister's computer that broke down recently. When you switch it on, it powers off after few seconds. I replaced PSU however the problem still persists. I tried all kinds of things such as resetting CMOS battery, plugging in RAM sticks one at time, unplugging hard and oprical drives, etc. but it didnt help. Based on all these, I suspect that either MB, CPU or RAM is faulty. Because the computer is pretty old I think it'd be best to replace all these components. Now can you guys spec me possibly the cheapest components? The PC is used for Internet browsing and multimedia. Here's the current spec:

I plan to re-use the hard and optical drives and PSU I just bought ( http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product3.php?Type=Mg==&id=Njgy ). Therefore I will need motherboard, CPU and RAM. Motherboard doesnt have to have integrated graphics as I have a spare PCI-E video card. Also you could suggest me a new case that I can threw all these into. I really appreciate your help. Thanks.
