Well it depends how much you are willing to spend. What is your budget roughly?

That is quite tight. Would you be able to take bits like the monitor from your old PC?

Case and PSU £30
Athlon motherboard inc sound £50
AMD Athlon 2600XP £80
120Gb HDD £80
512Mb DDR RAM £45
128Mb GeForce FX5200 £50
52X CD RW £32

Estimate of prices mainly using www.pless.co.uk and www.worldofcomputers.uk.com

Thats a pretty decent set up. Bank on £10-15 on cables.

The best graphics card on the market incidentally are as much as £350. The FX 5200 is the entry level GeForce. It is ok. I personally prefer ATI but for the same money as the FX5200 all I could find on those two websites was a Radeon 9000. With 64Mb. No contest.

Bear in mind that that PC won't have Widows, but Im sure you realised that and have a copy kicking around somewhere.
