Well..... I have had a fatal loss to my computer. The coca cola was detrimental to its health and it is no longer working.... soooo... I am looking to get this bad boy back up and running. It has a working PSU, HDD, optical drives and case.

Pretty much, I'm looking for the best 3 mobo, cpu and ram i can get for 250-350$. I would really like to have 4 gigs of decent ram on a fully atx mobo.

I built my last rig but it was getting old and im not up to date on technology. All suggestions welcome, Thanks!

total 284. You should get 3.6 out of that cpu.

Make sure you have or get a 64 bit OS to take advantage of your memory. 32 bit OS's are unable to read, use or even show the full 4 gigs.
