Ok so this board has been sitting around my house for a few months now and i want to turn it into my first HTPC. So i need to know the best Ram and CPU(and also a great video card i guess while i'm at it) for this board, the MSI K8NGM2-FID.

It takes a socket 939 chip so i'm guessing the FX-60 is the best i can do for my CPU? Will the board be able to fully utilize the dual cores of this CPU? Ram and video card i'll leave open because i have no ideal. Will the onboard video be sufficient for just standard video playback(this will be a dedicated HTPC, no PC gaming but probably MAME). Money is not an issue, i like to buy the best. Any other recommendations on this build would be greatly appreciated(quiet fans, power supply, etc). Thanks in advance.

2. An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.
4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.

Please resize your signature.
