Solve : CPU / Motherboard?

Answer»

Hi guys,

Am going to start my first self-build.

I have a few components I can TAKE from ANOTHER machine; soundcard, Harddrive etc... and I already have monitor and printer.

My main CONCERN it what kind of CPU and Motherboard to buy. I am not going to be anything special with the PC. No games or anything. Primarily surfing, but put quite a bit of music on there too.

I guess I want a computer that is "pretty good" but not too expansive, and want to decide a CPU / Motherboard for my starting point.

Someone suggested AMD Athlon 64Bit 3000 - what do you guys think?

Many thanks in advance,

The hardware you allready have should not become a bottleneck to the processing power both mainboard and CPU are capable of.
