In my opinion, you can do much better for the same or just a little more 
money. I build all my own PC's, and for others, too. For example, in the 
U.S., you can get an Athlon 1700+ tbred "B" for $48 US, which is 3 times the 
cpu. Mobo/cpu combos run $80 and up- for instance a PC chips board/1700+ 
combo runs $81 US. It also depends on if you are planning on using the ram 
you have now. Do some research before buying something. Look on Pricewatch, 
and compare stuff to what you have now. For the price/performance, you can't 
beat the Athlon 1700+ Tbred "B," and it can be matched with many low priced 
boards which all work fine.
