Ok so i built a computer for a friend back in 2005 and i now have possession of it. i Pretty much haven't kept up with the advancements in technology over the past few years. i do know you cant just go throw any old part on any old Mobo. So my question is what are the best possible parts (cpu/gpu/memory) can i buy for this ABIT FATAL1TY AA8XE?

None of them? That motherboard's from 2005, why waste your money on piecing together a two-generation-old outdated system when a new motherboard is like $65?

You haven't kept up with use of the correct grammar either.

I agree with Carbon (again).

Also you may want to list the desired use of the P.C for example Gaming; (State which games), Editing ( State your preference of editing suites).

Look at the specs on the motherboard and then upgrade the components if you can.

I think that Asus motherboards are the best. I have built quite a few computers and Asus boards are faster and more reliable especially for over clocking.

I will never anything else.
