    Mobo: 2/10 - That's a very weak and old motherboard, it probably won't work with that CPU, you need something much more substantial than that to run an AMD quad. Ebuyer's AMD motherboard selection is dreadful for reasons I don't understand, but if you are sticking with ebuyer, something like this would be better:
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/159000
    CPU: 8/10 - Power hungry AMD, but reasonably fast
    Case: 2/10
    PSU: 0/10 - deathtrap. If you really want to keep that dreadful case, you at least need to throw that PSU it comes with and buy a proper one like this:
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150985
    GPU: The HD2600 Pro will only fit if it is PCI Express. If it's AGP you also need a new graphics card.
    RAM: 7/10 - Not bad, Kingston aren't the best brand out there, but they should suffice.
