New computer for my Son...

[ImStillDave]

My Son's PC (my old 2500+ @ 3200+) has basically bit the dust. Processor, motherboard, video card, and DVD burner are shot. I think I can salvage the hdd...

Any ideas for an inexpensive processor and motherboard that are decent. I think I'll get him a 6800GT for the video card as he does like his games.

I'm going to let him pick a bling covered case of some sort as well

The lower socket 939 athlon 64's (3000, 3200) are great bang-for-buck CPU's.

second that - there's no point in getting older (ie. socket A) hardware...
