My motherboard is on its way out at the moment and im wondering if you guys know if i'll be able to buy a athlon64 CPU and mobo for under £250 (or near)?

Cheers

Im sure you'll quite easily get a 3200+ and a decent asus or abit mobo for under £250.

eg

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/AMD_64_Bit.html - AMD Athlon 64 3200 Newcastle 130nm (Socket 754) - Retail (CP-060-AM) 142.76

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Abit.html - Abit KV8 (Socket 754) Motherboard - £67.27

Which motherboard you get depends if you want sata support etc. Edit: you may even want to go for the 3400+, or for a socket 939 3200+ (instead of 754) so that there will be less chance of having to buy another mobo when you want to upgrade the cpu again eventually.
