I building a new computer. I mainly use the computer for internet, games, photo and video editing. I am thinking of buying a AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is that a good CPU? I would like a good speedy MOBO with plenty of expansion room to go with it can someone recommend one? I am thinking of expanding up to 4GB of RAM and a SLI connection in the future. I want to connect the PC to my television and XBOX 360 so this has to be took into consideration. Can someone recommend a good but relatively cheap graphic card that can handle present and future games? I also need a good sound card for surround sound. And a good case with loads of room and easy access. One that I can show off too lol. I would like to keep relatively cheap but still have a good system that will last. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

You're not gonna get all that for "relatively cheap", but I guess that depends on what your definition of "relatively cheap" is.... The X2 6000+ is gonna cost close to $200 all by itself. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... A decent board will cost you about $150: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... 4GB DDR2-800 RAM (2 x 2GB) will cost $220: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... Here's a cheap gaming video card for $90 (after rebate): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... Here's a nice flashy case for about $160: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... And figure another $100 +/- for a decent 500W (or higher) power supply. That puts the total at roughly $900 without the floppy, HDD(s) or optical drive(s).

I would call $900 (£500) very reasonable as a start point............ What country are you in by the way ?

Yeah I would say £500 is a great price. My budget would of been £600-£650

You could actually knock the cost down by close to $100 by choosing a different case.
