    there are plenty of good board choices
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...%2C719%3A21478
    My suggestion is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813130056
    now for processors you have lots of choices.
    and as for ram, the question is what is your primary goal? Games or Benchmarks or Crunching?

    2800+? Are you talking about a Sempron or did you mean X2 3800+?

    Sorry for resurrecting this, didn't realise this forum got that little traffic
