Everything will work together right?

Athlon XP 1700+

Radeon 8500 LE

Shuttle AK32A(KT266a)

if you can come up with a better combo for less than the 196.99 here from newegg please let me know, as this is a budget system my friend is building he is gettting pc2100 most likely, and so far an unknown 300 watt power supply and i think the thermaltake volcano5 HSF

is there anything you would change, but still keep the price low?

Motherboards are on my list on parts you should not skimp on.

Keep in mind, you get what you pay for.

how about $74 for a kt400 one and forget that Volcano 5 .. or $73 @ newegg ..reviews here

Volcano 6cu copper from Newegg $10 4550 rpm fan...will keep that cpu socket under 40C at 32C case temp. It does with my 1600+ Palomino on a MSI KT3 Ultra2 mobo.
1700+ from newegg $47
Radeon LE 64 MB DDR from Newegg $72

total---$129

If you have $200 you have $71 left to work with.
You don't want a AK32A. Trust me.
You can get a bunch of KT333 or KT400 motherboards for under say $80. Try MSI or EPox at newegg. they have a couple for $75 to $78.
Also look for a Soltek KT400 board link $74 or a MSI KT3 Ultra 2 (KT333) on Text for $71. That Soltek is a hellava board.

If you are really cheap and willing to take a chance look at the refurbed boards on newegg.

As for the 1700+ it can be replaced later or OClocked.
