want ATX (not micro)

have amd athlon 64 x2 5200+ cpu

i wanted something with on board video, but i cant find anything good from Asus, so ill get non on board video, but that means ill need a video card (more money)

this is the thing

i dont play games AT ALL.

all i really used my PC for is forums, email, AIM, downloading music, etc.

so NO fancy expensive mobo or video card is needed, but on the flip side, i dont want a cheap off brand one ya know?

what should i get? mobo- i wanna try n stick with Asus or Gigabyte, video cards-- u guys reccomend one for me

I hope you figured out why it fried before you buy a new one?

it was DOA, got a refund on it already, i didnt want a replacement becuase i accidently ordered Micro atc from the get-go, and i didnt mean to.
