Current Hardware Recommendation – MB, CPU, RAM

Make sure to also get a silent cooler/fan for your CPU (I did not yet – had Arctic Cooling ones on my last 2 CPUs, no problems there) and be aware that said motherboard does not have IDE (you may still have IDE CD/DVD drives – if so, you can get them really cheap, 15 € for a SATA DVD burner) (and no floppy, which you don’t need).
Here’s a good CPU cooler: Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Pro
