How is this combination:

M/B:

http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx...1143,405070000 - MSI PT890 (£29)

Processor:

http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx...147,4294958803 - Celeron D 3.2GHz (£29)

Memory:

http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx...063,4294959239 - Kingston ValueRAM PC2-5300 2x1GB (£37), or
http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx...063,4294957152 - Corsair PC5300 1x1GB (£18)

Couple more questions... I noticed that the Celeron D 3.2GHz is £29, the Celeron 347 3.06GHz is £33 and the Core 2 Duo 1.6GHz is £42. I understand they are probably different architectures, but how is their relative performance to each other? I haven't read up on processors since the days of Pentium 4.

Also, what are the motherboards with integrated graphics like these days? There are a few on dabs for about £10 more.

Sorry for all the newbie sounding questions... after a few years of not bothering with PC stuff, I feel like the people who used to come to me with these questions!

And thanks again for your time.
