I want to build my own PC, mainly because I've got a few bits lying around
that
can be reused (DVD, CD, NIC etc) that won't compromise the speed of my new
PC.
I'm not as technical as most of you, so is there a good site that help me
choose
which motherboard, processor & PSU??  I've already got about 120GB of
HD to
go
in there (2 x 60), and 512mb of PC133 RAM, but presumably if I want quick
then I
should go for DDR RAM instead?  My rough spec is:

Coolermaster case
Athlon XP (or something equally as quick)
SB Platinum
graphics card (don't play games, so not too bothered about this, but would
need
one with a DVI output)
512MB RAM
DVD & CD-R plus all the usual other bits

Basically I'd want something quick by current standards, and easily
upgradeable.
I nearly went shopping at Scan Today last night, but reminded myself of my
last
experience with them and managed to resist.  Might still try to get the CM
case
>from

Any recommendations? (or should I just buy a pre-built one?
www.bestpricecomputers.co.uk have some good systems)

Ta, Pete
