Hi there

1st I must tell you I'm danish so maybe there's some spelling errors.

My MB crashed so I'm going to build a new compuuter in a hurry it's bad beeing without one .
My graphic card & powersupply ( a Thermaltake 750W ) I'm going to keep but have to get a
motherboard - RAM - CPU & CPU cooler and fan.

I use my computer to surf - downloading - listen to music and writing letters, the games I play is boardgames and Hidden objects games.

MB:
I've been building computers around 20 years and been using mostly ASUS motherboards and have
had no problem with any of them so ASUS motherboard so I would like to get a ASUS again.
I don't need a MB with too many features I don't need / use that would be a vaste of money, but one
with a good reputation not known for problems

CPU:
I don't care if it's an Intel or AMD as long as it's good and stable.

CPU Cooler and Fan:
They got to be as silent as possible

RAM
I've used Corsair for years and wouldn't mind continue with it

My budget is about $ 500

I don't know if $ 500 seem too little to you but here in Denmark computer parts don't cost alot

Hoping any of you can help me

Take Care Susanne
 
For 500 bucks you can get get something like:

AMD FX-8320
Asus M5A97 Evo 2.0
"Big and quiet CPU cooler" (many alternatives)
2*4GB DDR3-1866 or better

However, processor is still bit overkill for that use, you can get cheaper if you wish.
 
Hello Wicked
Thanx a lot for your answer I will check it out. I've been searching and can't find
"Big and quiet CPU cooler" is it a brand or is it a description of a special kind
of cooler ?

Just description. It depends on what case you have and also different stores have different available. Big and quiet cooler may be for example Thermalright Mach0 HR-02

However, you need quite big case to handle it's height (162mm).
