Ok looking into building my own pc tower.
Take in mind I do not have a bank account and do not buy online.
I know a good shop that will order in what I want.

I am looking at AMD mainboard and CPU.

Ok I am not a gamer so do not need fancy graphics however I am thinking of Vista Aero to be installed.
I am looking at NVIDIA 6 serise.
I want a board that will take RAM wise 2x2 gig sticks at least.
So any recommendations?

And I am not made of money.That dont mean I am going for low end rubbish.


So give me a few pointers on what to buy.

Thankyou.

Ok..One question...I can give you cheap stuff that you can overclock hehehe, and bestable..?

What will you be doing with this machine mainly

Newegg.com - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ Brisbane 2.1GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail...CPU

Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-MA69VM-S2 AM2 AMD 690V Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail..Mobo (I have this one for my 4200+)

Newegg.com - OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail 2x2 gigs equals 4 gigs

Ok wanting to build my own computer.

In total I am willing to spend £500 but would like to build well under that price were possible.

I am not a gamer,so no need for super high priced preferals that will never get any decent usage.

I am looking at a sturdy case with a decent bit of room in there,do not want to cram everything in.I do not want a glow in the dark case.

The MB must take up to 8 gig DDR2.

SATA II HDDs x2

Decent speed on CPU.

Lightscribe.

I will be fitting a floppy drive.

It must be Vista and XP compatable.

I am looking at Vista Aero.Maybe?

I love AMD.

I'm sure AW-- will help you choose some awesome gear-- but Newegg.com does not ship to UK ... sorry

But if you get an AMD CPU it would be better to wait til phenom B3 or 45nm.
