Currently I have:
AMD Athlon 64 3200 (socket 939)
2 * 512Mb RAM
ATI X800XL
DFI Lanparty NF4

The motherboard is very capable with SATA 2 technology and supports the older AMD X2 dual core processors.

My plan is to buy second hand:
- AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core processor (which one shall I buy? It has to be Socket 939)
- 2 * 1Gb RAM sticks to give me 2Gb in total
- A graphics card. Recommend me one.


Budget is around £200. Lower the better.

Advice would be welcome. Thanks :)

£200 is my absolute max, otherwise I'll carry on using my system until Windows XP is phased out. The reason for the upgrades are I want a Windows 7 capable machine in the future.

Socket 939 might be out of date but the processors that suit a 939 are more than capable.
