    Post Another new system...help.

    While the market is down and prices are falling on PC components. I thought I would build another new one.

    Can someone help me with a good high end Athlon system? I need the best bang for the buck.

    For now I will just need:
    motherboard
    cpu
    memory

    please list prices with your combinations. thanks in advance

    I'd fully agree with Deano, except put a PAL 8045 or a Swiftech MC462 on there (they are both 80mm heatsinks)
