Depends on your plans.
If you want cost effective solution with onboard graphics then ya you can get the MSI RS480M2 + 3200+
But if you are gona purchase the graphi card anyway then it will be better if you opt for A43 3000+ venice and ASUS A8N-E.
This is better combo. YOu can overclock this board preety well. Has more features. less problems and better performance compared to RS480.
You can easily take 3000+ pass 3200+ speeds on A8N-E.

939pin CPU/mobo combo will be bit costly. No point in compromising on any of it. Rather go for AMD 64-bit 3000+ (754 pin) and K8N-E DLX. CPU for 7200 & mobo for 7100. You are ready to rock provided you already have a graphics adapter. Also let us know whether you already have compatible DDR RAM or not. I would advice you opt for DDR @ 400 MHz to get the most out of your rig.

hey u can go for AMD 3200+ and Asus A8N-E.i think it will be under ur budget or else go for AMD 3000+ and overclock it.
i purchased AMD 3000+ and Asus A8N-E for arnd 16000/- 2 months ago and now the price of the mobo has reduced.so it shld fit ur budget

Price difference between DDR333 and DDR400 is like rs400 per gig.. performance difference is 30%. DDR266 drops performance to almost 50% saving you another rs400.

So you spend rs20,000 for a new system, save rs400 and loose 30% performance?

939 costs like 50% more and loose 20% in performance. Seems like a no brainer...

other wise Why bother upgrading.
