Ok here it is. I'm currently attempting to put together a system. I've never built one before and am limited to about $13-1500 U.S. Here's what I've come up with so far, any comments/help would be GREATLY appreciated!

CPU: Duron 650
MB: Asus A7v (when released)
Case: Enlight 7237 w/ 300W Power supply
Sound: Soundblaster Live Value!
DVD: Pioneer 16x

This is where I begin to have questions. Specifically, is there any memory I should look at in particular with the Duron? Have they had any problems with memory like the Athlons. Also, which graphics card and Hard Drive does anyone suggest. Lastly, I'm looking for a 19" monitor but have no idea what would be worth it, etc. If ANYONE can help me out here I'd love to hear what people had to say. Negative/Positive it doesn't matter! I want info! :) Thanks SO much in advance!

BTW: I"m basically looking to put together a stable value system with some speed. OC'ing is not an issue. Thanks again!!!!
