I had a pc that I was using the motherboards went bad and also the PS. Well as of now I have
Western Digital Caviar® Special Edition WD2000JB 200 GB ATA-100 Hard Drive
radeon x 1650 pro
939PL-BLACK 10-Bay ATX Computer Case.

Those are the things that I have right now. I am not sure what the whole 32-bit or 64-bit system thing is cause I am new to computers but i hear the 64 bit is better and I am not sure if the memory that I have will be able or compatable with me trying to run a 64bit system.
As far as motherboards and processors the one that I have though able are
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Processor BX80570E8400 - 3.0GHz, 6MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB, Wolfdale, Dual-Core, Retail, Socket 775, Processor with Fan
Asus P5Q Green Motherboard - Intel P45, Socket 775, ATX, Audio, PCI Express 2.0, S/PDIF, Gigabit LAN, Firewire, USB 2.0, SATA, RAID.
Those are the ones I though might work well. Ihe only thing that I plan to us the system for is to play world of warcraft and maybe some media stuff. I Was looking at the quad core which are these.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 Processor EU80580PJ0534MN - 2.33GHz, 4MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB, Quad Core, OEM, Socket 775, Processor
Just not sure on what motherboard would go with what I am trying to do. I am trying to us what I have but if I need new RAM then I will to run a 64bit system. also though about getting a new video card like the radeon 4750. Well if anyone can give me a hand it would be much appreciated. Thank you.
 
if all you want to do is run WoW you will be good with the E8400. but some of the media stuff that you might using will run much better with quad cores.
your ram is good.
the only thing you also need to run a 64bit system is a 64bit operating system. i would recommend vista 64bit since xp 64bit had a lot of compatibility issues.
 
so the only thing that makes it a 64 bit systems is the vista 64 operating systems that you get. also do you have any idea about what motherboard would be good with the ram and quad core processor. also the 64 bit will take full advantage of the ram that i got since i have 2 of those packs which makes 8g total.
