sempron is the budget line of cpu.

754 is not a good move. so will 939 be in a few months with the new socket.

i would recommend an amd64 3000 or better. do you want single or duel core? (duel core is 2 cpu on 1 die)


im not too clued up on the latest ati cards. but i have an x800 standard and that performs nicely (so i would recommend that as a minimum)


also i have this motherboard: http://www.sapphiretech.com/en/produ...s.php?gpid=129

crossfire ready (just get a master card and you have duel graphics)


also you want a pci express
