Can someone give me a good combination of hardware for a new pc that i will
try to build.

Ive never made a pc from scratch but ive added or updated just about every
part so i would say my next chalange would be to build one from scratch.

I would like to build one for around £350 because you can buy a new 2.4Ghz
at around £450 - £550 with all the trimmings.

This is what i need:

1) Main Case (Mid range)
2) Motherboard with (AGP port, 5 PCI slots, 3 ddr ram slots, intergrated
sounds
3) Processor (2.4 AMD or better).
4) RAM (2 x 512Mb DDR Sticks)

Could Someone tell me some good modals of the above that will go together
well.

I already have the following:
1) Creative dvd drive
2) ATI Radeon Graphics Card 64Mb.
3) HP CDRW Drive.

Hope someone can give me some idear`s

Regards
Simon

P.S sorry about my Spelling
