My mom's PC

[alexyu]

Hey, I've got some old parts and my mother wants a PC, so I thought about using them.
So here's the parts I have:

• PSU: Raidmax 500w 2x8cm FAN
• Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (socket AM2)
• Video card: Sapphire Radeon X1550 256mb
• A Lightscribe dvdrw from my old comp

As you can see, I need

• A case
• A motherboard
• Some RAM
• A HDD
• a 17'' Monitor

Please recommend me some, but keep them cheap and compatible.

I assume your video card is PCI-E x16. If not, just choose GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H

Thanks, I'll check it out.
EDIT: You may consider me mad, but I want it even cheaper, and the monitor should be an old 17'' 1280*1024 lcd.

So, you prepare to buy a used LCD?
Actually, I though you want a new LCD at the very being. And looking at the price, a new 17" is $140, while Widescreen 19" is $160. That is the main reason I suggest a 19". But it all up to you.

Maybe on newegg.
Never mind, I'll do it myself.
