as per priorities- we start ULTAA
-
Altec Lansing MX5021 - 8K
Creative Audigy something- better than the base value ones - 3-4K
essentials-
2x512 DDR 400- 5k (2x512 DDR2 533 if going conroe- 4k odd)
80GB sataII- 2.2k; 250 SATA II- 4k; dunno 160GB- price- maybe 3.2k

Powersafe L&C 500- 2.5-3K
Nvidia 7600gt- 11K / 7600GS- 6-7k
KB + mouse - 1K
Cabinet- 1-2K
total 40k considering upper values!!
If u buy some stuff off TE Market- say RAM, Gfx card, u save even on the lower limit!!
now in 10k- thats spare- minimum- depending on previous ajustments- the more u adjust above, the more u get for cpu+mbo- you can get-
3000+ - 4K or 2.5-2.8k from TE Market and some full ATX mobo- 5k
(i dare not say A8NE lest i need major abuses
)- More than enough for your needs- IMHO!!:ashamed: :cool2:
Or some m-ATX mobo- 3-4k- say A8N VM types- with at least 2 useable PCI slots!!
Cheapest 939 mobo- Foxconn NF4XK8MC- was 2k + shipping- Contact our dear Mod 'Darklord'- for pricing and details!!
If u want dual core processor-
or an X2 3800+ - 8.4k and mobo of choice!!
OR Conroe 'E6300'- 10k:S + Asrock 775 twins- 3.5-4k:S!!- no comments on this one- please ask the pros- this is the cheapest Conroe package one can buy!!
