I have AM2 AMD X2 4200+ @ 2.5ghz / 2046mb DDR2-533 / GeForce 7600GS oc'd by me / Micro ATX AM2 Asus NODUSM3. I need a new case, psu, mobo for AMD Phenoms, and gpu. It needs to be 400$ or less please try and find the cheapest solutions. Thanks.

P.S I wont ever be using SLi or Crossfire so it doesnt need to support it unless its already there then I might consider later on.

For the CPU, go for a 3600+ - they are apparently very overclockable (if you want to overclock)

Otherwise, go for the best one you can get for your budget

Apologies for not noticing that you already said you had the 4200+ - in which case your parts seem fine.

But why are you buying a new mobo if you already have a 4200+?

What mobo do you have currently? It's not socket 939 is it?

Well that's two for you :wink: .
For upgrades, I would go t oDDR2-800 RAM and then get a 1950 or 7950 GPU. Still under $300.
