Please recommend some good parts you believe I would be happy with.
I'd like to stay with AMD.

I need a motherboard, processor (Prefer at least 3400+), video card w/s-video out (Must be able to play all MAME games smoothly), case w/350w or more power supply & quiet case fan. I don't want a fancy case. Something cheap that has at least 2 external 5.25" bays, 3 internal 3.5" bays, 1 external 3.5" bay & front USB 2.0 ports will do.

My budget is $350. The less the better obviously, but I don't want tjunk I'll have to replace 6 months from now. Going over $350 (No more than $400 though) might be ok depending on the setup, but please try to stay under $350.

Thanks!
 
Its all compatible but why not socket 939?
Because 754 is already going old and socket 939 is about to be replaced itself by something newer it'll probably be wiser to go the s939 route where you have much more upgradability in 6 months then you do with s754.

Because 939 is more $ + I don't plan on upgrading until my next PC in a couple years.
 
Old school ECS mobos suck hard. I'd see if I could strectch my budget a bit to get higher quality stuff.
 
basically what no one wants to tell you is that you can't put together an even moderately decent computer on $350. hell, i paid more than that for my video card alone! without assuming anything about you (wait, too late), i'm going to say get a job, save the money, and build it in 6 months. with $1000 you can build something to play games on. $350?? not gonna happen.
