In the coming weeks, I may just attempt that leap out of the stone age, and build a new computer. 

I've done some component research of my own, but advice from those more knowledgeable on the subject would be vastly appreciated.

I'll be retaining the existing case/hard-drive/dvd & floppy drive so require suggestions on the following:

Motherboard (HD-out preferable for future-proofing)
Memory
Graphics card
Power Supply
Processor

My only stipulations are as follows;

2 gb RAM
AMD CPU/Motherboard

If the new set-up requires cooling etc, feel free to drop that in too (being wary of expense/my existing custom comp has an independent fan)  I suppose it should be compatible with the forthcoming Vista madness, but I'm not particularly bothered if it isn't.

I envisage the budget will total somewhere around £500/$950 - £600/$1140 (extra points for less), and being in the UK will need components which are available here.

Thank you in advance for your efforts, they will be appreciated.
