Hi I'm pretty much a newbie to building my own system. I am looking to build a performance PC that is powerful enough to handle my music software program (Reason 3.0). The computer I have now can handle it to a point, but once I have a lot going on in the program, it clips and sometimes stops playing.

Here is what I'll need:

1 gig of ram
2 gig processor
New motherboard (no idea what to look for!)
New case

I have a soundblaster Audigy sound card that I'll use from this computer, and I am not really interested in a new graphics card right now.

Can someone direct me to the most inexpensive but reliable parts I need? My budget right now is about 500 bucks.

Any info would be much appreciated!!

Thanks,
Tim
