Hi
My brother wants me to build him a new 2nd system. He's got about 300 quid to spend on the whole thing (not needing a monitor). What do you think to the following. i think i may change the mainboard as it looks a bit crap and i dont know if the case has front usb ports, which would be well handy. Anyway here's the system.

Samsung SpinPoint S 160GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (HD161HJ) £28.99 (£34.06)

Intel Core 2 Duo E2140 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.60GHz (800FSB) - Retail £35.99(£42.29) £35.99

Antec Basic 350W PSU Antec Basic 350W PSU £20.99(£24.66)

Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2 (Socket 775) PCI-Express/AGP DDR2 Motherboard £36.99 (£43.46)

Corsair 2GB DDR2 Value Select PC2-4200C5 Dual Channel Kit (2x1GB) (VS2GBKIT533D2) £21.99 (£25.84)

Asus GeForce EN7300TC 512MB DDR TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail £25.99 (£30.54)

Samsung SH-S203D 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM £18.99 (£22.31)

Total £268.92 + P & P

What do you recon??
 
the agp isn't needed. system wont be overclocked. What would be a good stable mobo?

Edit: I think i may change the mobo to the Abit IL9 Pro
