    hi

    can anyone recommend a mother board bundle?

    pc wont be used for gaming or anything too heavy duty.
    just word processing, I tunes, browsing etc..

    the previous MB is giving a few issue (failing to post, ever after a reset)

    so. I have all the other parts. i.e. case, sapphire x1650 pro GPU. PSU, CD rom.

    if any one can recommend me a MB bundle that would be great.
    around 250 euro max

    I assume you want a motherboard, ram and processor? These would be good and you can sell the x1650 as the integrated graphics on that processor would be better anyway. All devices will have to be sata only though. Make sure your hard drives and dvd drive use sata connections.

    You could even throw in a 60gb ssd for windows and your main programs. That would speed up pc performance a lot. You could go with 4gb of ram if you want to save some money. You will need a sata cable for the ssd if you don't have a spare one.

    AMD A8 5600K €84
    AsRock FM2A75 PRO4 Motherboard €65
    ADATA XPG G v2 1866mhz 2x4gb RAM €50
    Kingston V300 60GB SSD €52

    Total €251

    hi thanks for the reply

    i have purchased a 69gb ssd allready for it :)

    and the older harddisk, cd and dvd dris is sata also,

    so all i really need is MB, RAM and processor., at the price you mentioned befrore seems very reasonable.

    is it better to buy seperate or too buy a bundled motherboard offer?

    No problem.

    Makes no odds really unless somewhere is offering a discount on a bundle.

    Amazon offer free delivery and have good customer service and returns policy.
