Anyone help me out chooseing a new motherboard, cpu & ram.
I got £200 at the mo.
Im happy to overclock but im not upto speed on the new boards and current cpu.
Also im on agp gfx and i dont do any gaming so the cheapest pci-e card would do me if i have to go over to it.

So what would be the best combo i could get ?

also considering saving more / selling stuff to get me into the bottom end conroe set up but would it be that much better for the extra cost.

cheers.
 
ok i have had a go myself how would this lot go together?

cant really beat that spec for under 200 but it would be worth upping ** budget to 250 or maybe even 300. then u can get dual core cpu. different mobo with onboard gfx and pci-e slot for later date and also better ram
