I have an old Intel P4 running on an Abit IC7-G and the northbridge fan has died on me again so I figure it is time to upgrade my primary pc. This pc is pretty much for surfing and mp3s. I already have a dedicated gaming rig. Some of the hardware such as soundcard, HDD, and CD and DVD drives will be carried over. I would like to stay around $600 or so for everything if possible. I really don't plan on overclocking but I always like to have the option if I change my mind.
