motherboard and some DDR2 memory

I was thinking of a new motherboaard for a shitty piece of crap I have sitting here
Intel® Core Quad-Core (8MB L2 Cache,2.4GHz,1066FSB)

But after that I would probably splash out and buy this lot as well

4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 4 DIMMs

200GB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache

Radeon ATI HD 2600 XT 256MB

Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio (No Idea which one would be best)

USB Ports - 6

Wireless Network Card

I knackered the motherboard in my main PC by accidentally blasting it with static electricity while the case was open
I'm posting this from a Pentium3 433 overclocked to 600MHz

it runs like a stunned slug full of qualudes and mogadon

it was a last-ditch effort to rescue an old PC so I didn't bother
the memory sockets have worked loose so it was freezing all the time when the memory sticks took a knock or heated up

took me back to the days of ZX81 RAMPack wobble it did
