?67 http://komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=311754&view=detailed
It supports PC3200 DDR (I think), as well as AGP. It has 2 IDE, as well as 2 SATA ports. It uses a Socket 939 CPU.

?320 http://komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=311700&view=detailed
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz Socket 939 1MB, BOXED w/fan

Its only a 2GHz CPU, but it runs BF2 nicely. I've the same CPU, but got this package (http://komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=313407), instead of buying stuff seperately, as I was going PCI-E.

If you buy in a local PC store then I predict you will be ripped off.  You have to buy online period!!!

Is your current CPU compatible with the MOBO. If its like a dell/PackardBell etc machine then they sometimes use their own type of PSU that is an odd shape and way below power.
