I am wanting to build a 64 bit AMD based system. I want to stay below
$700.00 if possible. I need to buy a case, motherboard, cpu with
heatsink/fan, video card, RAM, and a hard drive. I would also like to
have some, if all, of the following in the system.

1 GIG of Ram
256 mb video card [pcExpress]
80-100 gig 7200 rpm 8mb cache hard drive
A case which has fans and is very easy to install motherboard etc.
The fastest cpu and motherboard possible, considering my price limit.
I also want to reuse my ide based dvd and cd burners [2] of them.

This is a list of my Current system [nearly 3 years old]

PNY Geforce 6200 Vanilla AGP card
[2]-Kingston DDRAM 256M|DDR400 CL25 PC3200
Western Digital HD 80GB|WD 7200RPM 8MB cache
Floppy drive 1.44MB|SAMSUNG
CPU AMD|2500+/333Mhz ATHLON XP BARTON core
CDRW/DVD COMBO LiteOn 48X24X48X16
DVD plextor Burner
Motherboard NFORCE2 A7N8X-UAY 400Mhz
CASE ENLIGHT 360 EN-7250-OX3C36

Before taxes and shipping I paid $577.00
After shipping and taxes I paid $623.00

Any suggestion on a new build/rig?
Reason I ask is I have not kept up with the latest technology since I
didn't need anything until now.

Can someone please help me make some hardware decisons?

I am not one of those hard core gamers, I like simple games like quake
3d and starcraft type games.
I am not a movie editor or and person involved in things like cad
programs either.

Thanks people,

Just in case anyone doesn't know, the round cable bundle is just a
parallel cable wadded up. At least the last time I got one. I would
rather use a neat parallel cable.

The cable is just a bonus. That was the cheapest 80 gig 8mb drive o
the site at the moment. I'd just use the parallel too
