AMD Athlon 64 Processor

Hello
I am wanting to build a computer just for fun, with some spare parts I have.
I have a 300w power supply made by Enlight Corporation
A single core AMD athlon 64 processor ( not sure of the speed )
2 Sticks of kingston ddr memory ( not sure of the speed I cant tell by looking at the stick/sticker)
1 ATI Radeon X850 Pro 256 mb AGP
1 CD burner IDE
1 Floppy drive FDD

I realize that all of this is fairly outdated
but i was wondering what the cheapest computer i could put together with these parts was
I would need a case, mainboard, possibly video card ( or mainboard with onboard video )


What do you guys think, how cheap could I get a system running with the parts I already have?

used motherboard or look for something new?

I was quoting prices for a used mobo off ebay, there are some new boxed ones available there, but since everything else you're using is used......... as for best mobo your best bet is just to see what's available and then research what is priced at what you want to spend. 1st which actual processor you have, what socket it uses and what has an AGP socket for your GPU.

Yeah, what socket is the processor? 939, AM2, 754? If it is not an AM2 socket, you are going to have a tough time finding anything new for it.

its a socket 939 but wouldnt that processor work in a am2 ?
also im not worried about the video card not working because of there not being a agp slot, i could use onboard video, or just buy a under 100 dollar card.
just for referenence though its an 8x agp

Nope 939 chips can't work on AM2 Guess AMD learnt their lesson and made AM3 chips run on AM2+ hehe

What about EPox
http://www.epoxstore.com/Products. [...] 1&CID=1004

their store claims to still sell 939 boards, is Epox a very good brand though?

Heres an update, the processor is an AMD|A64 3800+ 939 512K R
The old motherboard that the processor and the rest of the parts used to be in was a Epox NF3250 939
Would it be wise to just get the same motherboard off the EPox store, or look for something better?

What do you guys think about this website ?

I was looking at the

ASRock 939A8X-M Socket 939 MicroATX Mainboard with AGP 8x, SATA RAID, 7.1 Audio - Refurbished

ASUS A8V-MX All-in-one Socket 939 Motherboard w/ VIA K8M800 Chipset, Onboard Video, AGP 8x, SATA 300 RAID

and

ASRock 939DUAL SATA2 Socket 939 Mainboard with PCI Express x16 and 8X AGP, DDR1, SATA 300 - Refurbished

MB-SK-939-ASR-DUL-SA

thanks for the reply , is there any reason that the micro ATX board wouldn't be as solid as the standard ATX one ?

I just threw together my system with the old parts, i decided to get the micro atx 939A8X-M motherboard, my system does POST, and i checked the bios and it is showing all three bootable devices the floppy , cd and harddrive. But i am getting the " NTLDR is Missing press ctrl alt del to continue " Error

I have windows xp in the cd drive, are there any reasons it isnt booting to the cd to install the operating system?

I thought maybe i have something plugged in wrong but the bios shows all three devices?
