I need to build a new PC, problem is I haven't built a new one in over five years, so I am out of date with the current technology. Right now I am looking at AMD, just to save money and probably middle performance machine, do not need a top of the line. So what I need to Motherboard recommendations; thinking ASUS. Processor AMD X2 5000 Video?? PCI express is new to me, thinking of going with ATI, since it should perform well with AMD/ATI chip sets. Power supply?? Hard drive - manufacturers to stay away from? Case - front USB, at least 2 5.25" bays, 3 to 4 3.5" bays. Monitor - 19" to 22" ?? Windows Vista, which flavor? Home user with a small network, usually two computers sharing internet. Share printer via main computer. Thoughts, questions and opinions requested...
