It's an old AMD 64 3200 if memory serves, so I guess time to get a new one, unless anyone has any ideas?

This was the last PC I built, so as you can tell, it's been a while, and I've no idea what CPU's are out there at the moment.
I'd like to stick with AMD, and it doesn't have to be top of the range, I've got 1.5 GB of PC 3200 that I'd like to keep, and I'll need a new graphics card.
Any suggestions?

Budget is around £200
Yep its your Motherboard. Hopefully the CPU etc are fine, so you will only need a replacement Mobo.

Do remember to use risers when placing the mobo onto the case And earth yourself
