Sooo guys if you can possibly help me find a new one, i'll love ya forever. preferably from this site: http://www.misco.co.uk simply coz thats where my mobo/cpu were both gonna come from and so if i can keep it so that I only have one delivery cost, that's awesome
Doesn't matter if its on another site though, as long as it's in the UK. I'm only asking coz mobos confuse the heck outta me. Needs on mobo:
Onboard sound. Anything is good, the one I was getting had 5.1 but normal stereo is fine.
Networking. Preferably at least 100mb Ethernet (Fast Ethernet?) built in.
PCI express supported
Socket 939 (changed now)
The one i was getting was gonna be about £59 with VAT, so if you can find one about that price, that's great. Slightly more is ok, but not too much, and less is always awesome as long as it's still good
EDIT: how about that ox found? Only thing I'm unsure of is the lack of onboard VGA and SCSI. Is that bad or doesn't it really matter?

As for the rest of it, looks good to me. You should be able to scream along in HL2. Your biggest bottleneck imo would be the graphics card, and at this point that's really not much of a bottleneck (very decent card).
So, I'd say you're set. I'll let 11b chime in on the mobo/processor if he so chooses.
btw, the motherboard you linked to includes network and sound controllers onboard.

Ok guys, whaddya think? Apart from Graphics card, what else do I need? Excuse my blondeness but does the mobo have sound and network cards already in it? And double check its all compatible for me
Also if any of those makes are horribly crap, tell me! I just kelkoo'ed for the stuff you mentioned and clicked some cheap ones.oh also is this a good card d'ya think? If so, would you recommend the cheaper or more expensive version? Far as I can see they're the same, just one is a better known brand, but I'm prepared to buy the more expensive one if you think thats best
just one thing to add; need to be sure this system would run HL2 comfortably, as thats the benchmark for being able to run BnW2 til the specs are released.
