So I have some spare cash laying around and want to build a new computer. I'm not the most technically minded person in the world when it comes to small details with hardware, so I'm hoping somebody could help me here.

I've set a budget of £150 for a Mobo, CPU and RAM. I do quite alot of media based work on my comptuer (3D design, video editing and photoshopping) and also quite a bit of gaming. So I'm needing something that is good enough for both.

Here is what I have got so far, which is probobly way wrong.


AMD Athlon X2 5200+ Dual-Core Processor - 2.70 GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, Socket AM2, 65W, 65 nm, 3 Year Warranty, Retail Boxed: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31kGNZEA7VL.@@AMEPARAM@@31kGNZEA7VL £60

Gigabyte M57SLi-S4 socket AM2 motherboard £66

x2 Kingston RAM 2GB SO DIMM 200-pin DDR II 667 MHz / PC2-5300 £35 (for 2)

The total of this comes £161.

I need to know if I've chosen wisely or can I get a better combination.

Thanks.
