Help me pick out parts for my new computer.

[hopeless879]

Ok, right now these are my specs

AthlonXP 1600+
ECS K7S5A
768 MB ddr pc2100
hdds (all IDE): 2x 120GB, 2x 30GB, 100GB
GF4 Ti4200 64MB

I plan on upgrading the cpu, mobo, ram, and maybe getting a SATA hdd thats 100GB+. If I have the extra money I'd get a new video card but it's not that important.

I don't do much gaming so I'm mainly looking for something thats stable and reliable.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get to most bang for my buck or the best value system. I've been looking at Athlon64 systems and I'm not sure if thats the way to go or not.

Any input is appreciated.

Try the Anandtech buying guides...I think they are pretty helpful.
