To build a PC, what hardware to run Ubuntu Studio fast without overspending?

[killingstar]

Hi Peter,
I am planing a similar system on my own, cheap and powerfull.

Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3,0 GHz
The Wolfdale series is still quite powerfull and you can get it cheap.
With the right motherboard and fast RAM you'll get a nice system.

I want to try a motherboard that supports DDR3-1333, but i read DDR2
isn't so much slower.
I want to try an Asrock P45DE3 (Sound, G-LAN, SATA2).
This motherboard is able to be overclocked to 1600 Mhz RAM.
Asrock is cheap and they are getting goods reviews at the moment.

As video card i use a ATI Radeon 4650. This is enough power for my
needs. I think you can choose what you like but check if the driver is
good supported by the linux community.

I hope this will help you a little.

Cheers
KrypTom

I want to be able to run 2 or 3 apps simultaneously without slowing the PC down. I've built a PC before using a good 650 watt power supply, multiple cooling fans, and a generic 512mb video card.
