Your cpu won't last very long without a heatsink and fan... and you'll
need a case, come to that... ;-)

Where are you getting these prices? Presumably they include VAT? �83.44
is a very good price for a 1.2 Athlon if that includes VAT.

Personally I'd think about an Abit mobo, say the KG7. It's had really
good reviews. If Asus, what's the difference between the A7M266 and the
A7A266 mobos?
