The wife is nagging that WoW lags too much so im gona have to carry out some minor surgery and I have no cast offs to give her. Thinking of bunging this in there what do you guys think, youve never failed me yet.

AMD Athlon 64 3500 Retail / Asus A8N-SLi SE nForce4 SLi / 1GB GeIL Value PC3200 Dual Channel Kit - Bundle (BU-048-OK)

Does this M/B have a built in Networking dont know if I can be bothered with separate network cards these days, I couldnt see any mention of it on their website.

PowerColor ATI Radeon X850 XT 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-037-PC)

Im also looking for a case to put all this in preferably with a PSU that can cope included any suggestions welcome.
 
Think its an old sempron 2400+ that I dug up, although im not 100% with an Asus mobo.

GFX card is an ATI 9800 AIW

Case is an old tower that I used to run a server in so its pretty huge (1m tall), she would like something a bit more "ladylike" ready for the iseries in April.

To be honest the whole thing was a mish mash as I dint really take her gaming seriously at the time.

that upgrade would be spot on then, pretty much the spec that i have now

cant answer your network question, but at a guess i would say that it did have.
 
Thanks Paulus, what case do you have it all in and did you have to replace the PSU in it before use? Looking at one of the value cases;

OcUK Value Rainbow Series Case Light Blue With 350W PSU (CA-002-RB)

to be exact but will that PSU run the spec?

I have mine in a Coolermaster Black Widow, cant get them anymore and quite expensive and i went for a seperate PSU.

I dont know much about the cheaper end of the case market, but i would say that if you could spend a bit more on the case/PSU then it would be a good idea..

maybe : Arctic Cooling T1 Silentium Silent Midi Tower Case - 450W Seasonic Silent PSU (CA-000-AR) @ £ 58 ?

just built a pc for a mate with that case and it seemed very nice.
