I play CALL OF DUTY online like every day of the week and want a motherboard that's more current but not the latest. I want quality and a fair price.

I'm wanting to upgrade my motherboard and CPU and need your help. I'm running an AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ Processor 1.49 GHZ and am wanting to probably go to AMD Athlon 2800+ with a new motherboard w/ 1x 256ram and 1x 512ram. I also have a low end 256 Assylum video Card.

I have AK7S5A motherboard (no clue what that is)

I'm wanting to have a fair motherboard processor combo and will probably pick up one on EBAY. I'm looking for something with room for a lot more memory + I have a SoundBlaster card that I'd like to use etc.

Also can I get some advice on fans, such as: what are they good for? how many do you really need? is a fan a fan is do you need a particular brand?
